The story opens in Mudcat Landing, population 47, somewhere out West. Buford Anchors (good last name for river folk), age 60+ (and with 2 grown sons, Rafe and Shub, and an almost-grown daughter, Lucianne), lives on a rickety houseboat. Sexy Melanie, less than half his age, at 27, is staying with him. Melanie has been on the run from the law for a year now. Buford had provided her sanctuary, but only after taking her $3,000 of stolen money, which she stole from the carnival strongman, Steelo, back when she was working at a carnival far away, back east in New Orleans. Melanie wants to marry Buford, and now, to put pressure on him to marry her, she tells him that she is going to have a baby -- as she puts it, "a B-A-B-B-Y, baby!" Meanwhile, old Silas Heller is having problems with his pretty daughter, Honey Bee, who appears to be around 16 years old. Honey Bee says she is "just itchin' to get married." She is making out with Rafe Anchors. Unfortunately the fathers, Buford Anchors (who is river folk) and Silas Heller (who is land folk), hate each other and have been feuding for over 20 years, like the Hatfields and the McCoys. Later, Silas Heller decides to have it out with the Anchors clan once and for all. Will the 2 warring clans resolve their differences with shotguns, or by peaceful means?
