Kissin' Cousins

An Army captain is sent to a rural community in East Tennessee to secure land for a missile site. The local residents are resistant, and the captain, along with his look-alike cousin, must find a way to win them over, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings and musical numbers.

• The musical numbers are generally considered the highlight, though the plot is often seen as weak.
