Harold l. Montgomery, the scatterbrain vice president of the United Broadcasting System, is dismayed when he learns that a minuscule portion of the ground on which the station's new building sits is part of the adjoining lot belonging to hillbilly girl Judy Goober, who could sue the company for millions. Afraid of his domineering, ill-tempered sister Matilda, who is the president of the company, Montgomery says nothing to her about the problem. He takes his equally scatterbrained son Junior to the Ozarks to convince Judy to sell the property before she learns the truth. However, when Judy does not agree to sell, Montgomery hires handsome Prince Karl, a Russian who faces jail for back alimony payments, to close the deal.
