The U.S. Congress has selected the hillbilly town of Dogpatch as the most useless location in the entire country and, therefore, the perfect site to test A-bombs. When the none-too bright Li'l Abner and the other citizens get wind of what's going on, they set out to prove that their neighborhood has value. But can the simple people of Dogpatch actually devise a plan that will win over the government? Among the many delightful tunes you'll hear are "Don't That Take the Rag Off'n the Bush" and "I'm Past My Prime." [More]
