A delicious, southern-fried plot:
The Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas are up against the clock as they frantically try to
produce the best-
ever high school reunion before the old building is demolished. But they've
got a bushel of obstacles to
overcome before they can pull off this miracle.
Cousin Gaynelle is reeling from the humiliating death and
funeral of her loathed ex-husband.
Cousin Peaches' romantic life has tanked because all the eligible men are
horrified by the fact
that she is a mortuarial cosmetologist.
Cousin Jimmie Wyvette is trying to live down her on-
camera catfight with a local televangelist.
To top it all off, the three cousins must impress a governor's aide with
their party-planning
capabilities in order to nab the plum job of throwing the governor's birthday bash. Not to
mention keeping their business afloat. Their scramble to prepare the perfect event is
interrupted by the exploits
of their beloved Uncle Aubrey, who is about to get throttled by the
two octogenarian sisters that he is
simultaneously romancing. And, by threats from their self-righteous Aunt LaMerle, who is determined to be
crowned the final and forever Guacamole
Queen of Sweetgum High. And that's before Dewey, one of Peaches'
former classmates with a
score to settle, arrives with his malevolent hand puppet, Obediah.
Can it get any
worse? You bet it can! Jimmie Wyvette hog-ties the sheriff with police tape, the
high school gym is blown away,
and the desperate battle for Guacamole Queen heats up into an
outright fight to the finish.
Are we going to
have fun doing this show? You bet your taco!
