A country-music extravaganza, based on the last days of Miss Mona’s “Chicken Ranch,” a legendary Texas brothel (which derived
its name from a Depression-era policy that allowed customers to pay with poultry) in operation from the 1840s to 1973. Crusading
television broadcaster Melvin P. Thorpe seeks to shut down Miss Mona’s business by publicly embarrassing its patrons. Although
many of the state’s leading politicians have been customers of the Ranch, they are persuaded to preserve their political careers
and join Thorpe in denouncing the establishment and its inhabitants. When Senator Wingwoah covertly promises the victors of a big
college football match an evening with Miss Mona and the girls, chaos wins the day as Melvin and a cavalcade of cameramen break
into the brothel and begin snapping pictures. Slightly risqué, but loaded with great country songs and hilarious humor.
Don’t miss this one!
