Overview

Life on the Swyner pig farm is anything but ordinary for Moonbeam, who at 19 is still single and closer to her pet pig than any local suitor. Her mother, eager to see Moonbeam married off, is quick to seize opportunity when a traveling lingerie and perfume salesman rolls into their rural enclave. What follows is an outrageous collision of sexual scheming and rural eccentricity, as Ma and Pa Swyner conspire to secure their daughter's future and outwit the unwitting city slicker. Sly humor, risqué antics, and the unmistakable air of 1970s sexploitation comedy keep the barn doors swinging in this tale of hayloft hijinks, countryside lust, and shotgun weddings.
