The Nettle sisters are determined to escape spinsterhood—Willie Mae by going to Salt Lake to find a good Mormon husband and Faye by hopping on a spaceship. Faye and Willie Mae return home to their ramshackle swamp dwelling in Sugar Bean, Florida, after a disastrous daytrip to Disney World, where Willie lost her prized Eva Gabor wig on Space Mountain. Having witnessed the landing of an alien space craft some 25 years ago, Faye prepares for their return. A strange bird-like woman suddenly appears out of the darkness of Buster Swamp, setting in motion a chain of extraordinary events. Lies begin to unravel and the truth is revealed as the Sugar Bean Sisters hatch a diabolical plot to ensure the space people’s return.
