Darby Clyde Fenster and Jerry Martin are a pair of penniless nincompoop-drifters who hop a freight train on their way to Florida. Our intrepid heroes find themselves facing one comic situation after another in this gloriously loopy Southern fried comedy-with-music.

New York gangsters head South in search of that magical Nashville sound. Unfortunately, they misunderstand the directions given to them by a friendly gas station attendant and wind up in Atlanta instead.
