Synopsis
The film is set up as a series of sketches featuring Jim Varney's various characters, some of which he introduced in his stand-up comedy routines: Corporal Davy, the frontiersman; Lieutenant Ace, the fighter pilot; Uncle Lloyd, the mean-spirited mountain man; Cousin Billy, the jive-talking carny; Rhetch, a reckless riverboat gambler; and Ernest's "Pa."
Ernest P. Worrell's appearances serve as a framing device, with the characters introduced as his relatives and the ever-insistent Ernest trying to tell the unwilling-as-usual Vern about the characters.
