The story is set in Oregon in 1850 and tells the story of seven backwoodsmen led by their pompous, determined older brother Adam. He meets the beautiful Milly and marries her the same day. Milly immediately sets to work taming her new brothers so they can take brides of their own. However, her plan doesn’t work resulting in chaos and with high energy dancing and wonderful songs like “Goin’ Courtin,’” “Sobbin; Women.” And “Wonderful, Wonderful Day.”

The cast includes Chris Spendlove and Gordon McKay as Adam Pontipee with Jory Bourne and Hannah Spencer as Milly. The Pontipee brothers are played by Daniel Bradley, Mark Crowder, Matthew Mason, Marcus Williams, Kai Hansen, and Brendon Hanks.
