When famous Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson mistakenly arrives in tiny Groesneck, Texas, hoping for rest and recuperation, the locals spring into action to trick him into thinking the local saloon is a spa, bringing his soul to the Lord, and marrying them off, not necessarily in that order. A wild, rollicking farce about a misplaced author in the land of tall tales with a chemical concoction straight out of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
