In this exuberantly wacky comedy, the Nettle sisters are determined to escape spinsterhood and get out of their ramshackle swamp dwelling in Sugar Bean, Florida—Willie Mae by going to Salt Lake and finding a good Mormon husband and Faye by hopping on the spaceship when the “space people” return for another visit. But when a strange bird-like woman suddenly appears out of the swampy darkness, a chain of extraordinary events is set in motion and lies begin to unravel as the Sugar Bean Sisters hatch a diabolical plot to ensure the space people’s return.
