대공황 기간 동안 오클라호마의 한 농장에서 영화가 개봉되자 두 명의 동시 방문객이 말 그대로 Wagoneer의 집을 파괴적인 먼지 폭풍과 미서스의 형제인 Red가 미친 듯이 운전하는 컨버터블에 부딪혔습니다. 불량한 시골 서부 음악가인 그는 일생일대의 성공 기회인 Grand Ole Opry 오디션에 방금 초대되었습니다. 하지만 여긴 내슈빌로 돌아가는 길인데, 레드는 확실히 건조해

As the film opens on an Oklahoma farm during the depression, two simultaneous visitors literally hit the Wagoneer home a ruinous dust storm and a convertible crazily driven by Red, the missus' brother. A roguish country-western musician, he has just been invited to audition for the Grand Ole Opry, his chance of a lifetime to become a success. However, this is way back in Nashville, Red clearly drives terribly, and he's broke and sick with tuberculosis to boot. Whit, 14, seeing his own chance of a lifetime to avoid growing up to be a cotton picker all my life, begs Ma to let him go with Uncle Red as driver and protege. Thus begins a picaresque journey both hilarious and poignant.
