Plot
Woody Woodrow, a country bumpkin whose family makes and sells moonshine in backwoods Tennessee, inherits a Las Vegas casino and plans to turn it into a country and western bar.The rundown establishment is WAY out of town,but country music is a novelty they figure they can successfully promote.
On the plus side,buxom Boots Malone(Van Doren);who is smarter than she appears;signs on as hostess and business manager.
On the minus side,gangsters to whom the previous owners owed a sizeable amount of money keep coming around to collect;backed by huge "enforcer" Richard Kiel (well before fame in James Bond movies).
Woody eventually manages to talk well-known country singers into appearing there;and pays off the debt. He then orders his staff to shower the gangsters with pies on their way out the door.
