Down in 'Arkansaw'

They're comin' 'round the mountain...on a rootin', shootin, tootin', feudin' rampage!

Up in the country of 'Arkansaw' (an on-purpose misspelling of the name of the state 'Arkansas), the government is trying to get the natives to move. They want to construct a huge dam where they currently live and the mountaineers can be moved to more modern and more-inviting homes. But the local-power company interests start to mess up the project by turning the residents against the government men, headed by John Parker.
