...town because of a crime investigation, Bookie "Numbers" Foster (Scott Brady) and his hypochondriac sidekick, "Poorly" Sammis (Wally Vernon) wind up in Georgia backwoods country, where they adopt a hillbilly girl (Mitzi Gaynor). In short order the pretty hillbilly becomes a dancing star at Dave the Dude's nightspot and horse parlor on Broadway.

He got hold of the nightspot through blackmailing the previous owner; he frightens the help, seduces the showgirls, mistreats his own family. When he gets into financial straits, he determines to go down the same brutal way he came up.
