The U.S. Air Force,
who want to build a base on Smokey Mountain, are met with a hostile
reception from the hillbillies that own it. Josh Morgan, a public
relations officer finds that he is related to Jodie Tatum, one
of the hillbillies who lives there ( both played by Elvis ), and
is his exact double. He uses this to go in undercover and try
to persuade Pappy Tatum that selling the mountain is a good idea.
Best scene is when all the predictably gorgeous mountain girls
try on their presents, bought by Josh - bikinis, of course.
Maureen Reagan -
daughter of Ronald - appears in a non-speaking part as one of
the 'Kittyhawks'.

Kissin' Cousins / Smokey Mountain Boy / One Boy Two Little Girls
