Plot

Theatrical agent Al Stewart has booked his client Dorothy McCoy, the "Manhattan Hillbilly", at a New York nightclub. He has also booked an inept escape artist, the Great Wilbert, at the same location. During his performance, Wilbert cannot escape his shackles and screams for help. Dorothy recognizes Wilbert's shrill scream as the "McCoy clan yell". More evidence of Wilbert's heritage, including a photograph and concertina, are found in his dressing room, and prove that he is the long-lost grandson of "Squeeze Box" McCoy, leader of the McCoy clan. Granny McCoy has been looking for Wilbert, as she will reveal where Squeeze Box hid his gold to family only. Al, Dorothy and Wilbert head to Kentucky, and Granny recounts the story of the McCoy-Winfield feud that began more than 60 years ago. The McCoys choose Wilbert to represent them against Devil Dan Winfield in a turkey shoot. Wilbert has never even seen a gun, and his carelessness leads to a revival of the feud.
