Carradine is Harley Thomas, a Florida moonshiner who challenges Ralph Junior (Roger C. Carmel), the father of his girlfriend Nancy Sue Hunnicutt (Kate Jackson), to a competition to determine who can produce the most moonshine. Ralph Junior takes up the challenge and the two adversaries struggle to get the brew from their home stills to thirsty patrons without the cops or the mob trying to confiscate the firewater. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Richard T. Jameson, Parallax View
... probably the most slaphappily endearing low comedy since Russ Meyer's The Seven Minutes.
-
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
A simplistic affair with no delusions of anything beyond B-movie fun.
