"HEAVEN
HELP THE PO' TATERS"
.
There's
trouble in Tatertown! The Idaho community is desperate
for rain lest their potato crops dry up in the fields.
Especially hard hit are Irish Tater, his wife Etta Tater and
the Tater tots: Sweetpea, Lyonnaise and Chip.
Unless a solution is found, they will be forced to move,
along with the other farmers in Taterfield County.
Their plight is the result of a dastardly scheme hatched by
Noah Count, the scoundrel lawyer who deliberately left the
water rights out of their deeds. The townsfolk send our
hero, Spud Farmer, to bargain for water with the B.Z.
Beaver Corporation that dammed the Snake River. To
Spud's surprise, Sue Duse is not only head of the business,
but Noah's partner in crime. Spud's ladylove, Candide
Yam and the other citizens spy on the negotiations —
all in wacky disguises. Hilarity abounds as the Tater
tots are kidnapped for ransom and Spud fights Noah to stop
the villain from blowing up the dam! This "dyn,amite"
melodrama sprouts other characters including Ida Hoe, ,Tilda
Fields, Cher Kropper, Marshal Art and Pastor Salt.
