"Misty Rowe
looks the part of Daisy Mae to perfection. With her doll's face,
blonde hair, off-the-shoulder blouses cut breathtakingly low and
ragged shorts revealling well-shaped legs, Misty Rowe's appearance
was ideal. Her cutesy personality fits well into Daisy Mae's lovestruck
image. Furthermore, Miss Rowe can sing and dance..."

A
crisis arises when the federal government decides that Dogpatch
is the most useless spot in the United States. The sleepy community
is chosen to replace Nevada as the site of nuclear tests. The citizens
seek to find something -- anything -- useful in Dogpatch to stav
off the feds. Kickapoo Joy Juice proves to be the answer, but its
potency sets off shenanigans in Washington. For Daisy Mae, the real
crisis is that the bombing of Dogpatch might interfere with Sadie
Hawkins Day, when she hopes to catch Abner and claim him for her
own.
