Mad, Merry, Musical Monarchs....Kings of Jazz, Masters of Mirth! But they needed all their stage tricks when they inherited a Southern estate and a feud along with it!

A family of down-and-out vaudevillians discover that they are the last of the Van Revels, heirs to a Southern plantation and a blood feud with the Carstairs family that began 60 years earlier over a game of croquet. After Eddie falls in love with the neighbors' daughter, a mountaineer branch of the Carstairs clan resumes the feud with the intent of annihilating the Van Revels.
