Description: A comedy musical based on an earlier stage musical, which was in turn based on the comic strip characters created by Al Capp. When the residents of Dogpatch, USA are notified by a senator that they must evacuate their town because it is to be used as an atomic bomb testing ground, they try to persuade the government that Dogpatch is worth saving.
