Throw into the mix Ed, the foreman w ith the railroad company, Charlie, the old settler who has lived in the Targhee all his life and Jeff, the new game warden, and you have a cast of colorful characters whose antics set the forest ablaze in laughter.

The opening scene features the hearty and robust voice of Morgan, alone in the forest chopping trees and singing of how 'Theres nothing like living in the old Targhee." Later joined by most of the cast, Morgans robust voice is one of the highlights of the show. There is plenty of square dancing that adds to the display of the simple life the folks lived in the Targhee and plenty of fighting as well as each weekend the folks set out to claim the honor of who is the "Bull of the Woods" Although Linda at first fights the untame lifestyle, the crude language, that drops a vowel at every 7-- it is fun to see how she is perceived by the others and then comes to an understanding and love of the people she is living chance, Tabernacle Choir to hold free Easter Concert around. Trying to "civilize" the back woods folks into going to church or holding a book club may not be as easy as Linda hopes and fitting in may be as simple as not doing laundry on Sunday.
