Plot Synopsis
This is the story of the seven Pontipee brothers, hankerin' after fun, fighting and frolicking in the Oregon wilderness of the 1850s. Adam, the eldest brother, marries the spunky orphan Millie and the Pontipees are shaken out of their backwoods life with a vengeance. Millie, determined to marry off her brothers-in-law to help insure the success of her own marriage, cleans them up and introduces the neighboring town to some wild Pontipee courting which shakes up all of the unattached hearts in the area. Misplaced enthusiasm causes a mass abduction of the townsfolk's daughters so that Mille has to chaperon a bevy of beautiful girls throughout the long Oregon winter until the girls' fathers come round in the spring for a mass shotgun wedding of the twelve young lovers
