17 year old Tammy (Debbie Reynolds) is a tomboy from the deep Mississippi swamps. She and grandpa rescue airplane crash survivor Peter Brent (Leslie Nielsen). She is heartbroken when he recovers and returns to his fiancee Barbara. After grandpa's jailing for moonshine, she walks to stay at Pete's vast Natchez estate. Pete is experimenting on tomatoes to revive the estate. The Brents are preparing to host the Rebel Ball and tours of Brentwood Hall.
It's old fashion like the theme song. The whole sensibility is old fashion. Reynolds is great doing the gosh darn thing although she's getting a little old to play the teenager. A younger Leslie Nielsen is playing a fine leading man. This is definitely traditional Hollywood.
