Dr. Finsdale finds nothing necessary in Dogpatch. | Speedy is stupified by Stupifyin' Jones. |
Li'l Abner's muscles result from taking his Mammy's Yokumberry Tonic. | Gen. Bullmoose and his secretarial staff listen as Appassionata Von Climax explains to Abner, "I kinda trapped it." |
Gen. Bullmoose tries to corrupt Abner with money. | Senator Jack S. Phogbound has already been bought. |
Evil Eye Fleagle promises that he can stun Li'l Abner with a Whammy so Appassionata can catch him. | The choreographer and the director have a consultation. |
During rehearsal, the choreographer reads for a missing cast member while the Dogpatch women prepare for the Sadie Hawkins Day Race. | The men also prepare as best they can. |
Daisy Mae coaches Li'l Abner in how to let her catch him in the race. | Daisy Mae asks Available Jones for extra help catching Li'l Abner. |
Another hapless bachelor is caught | Earthquake McGoon keeps Daisy Mae from catching Li'l Abner as Evil Eye Fleagle puts the Whammy on Abner. |
The government scientists are thrilled with the promise of Yokumberry Tonic. | With Abner claimed by Appassionata, Daisy Mae laments "I'm past my prime" to Marryin' Sam |
Earthquake McGoon promises to do anything Daisy Mae asks if she will marry him. | Gen. Bullmoose complains that "Progress Is the Root of All Evil." |
Earthquake McGoon's quick thinking deflects Fleagle's Truth Whammy and turns the tables on Bullmoose. | The Dogpatch ladies like the looks of their reconditioned husbands, but there's one big problem . . . |
. . . and the Dogpatch wives ask Dr. Finsdale to . . . | "Put 'em back the way they was." |
Romeo Scragg looks on approvingly as Earthquake and Daisy Mae approach the marriage altar. | Mammy smiles as Pappy Yokum administers his special romance tonic to Li'l Abner. |
As the men prepare to haul the Gen. Jubilation T. Cornpone statue out of town, they make a discovery that saves Dogpatch from nuclear annihilation. | Marryin' Sam leads the whole town in praise of Gen. Cornpone. |
