LI'L ABNER

“Your Favorite Cartoon Alive on the Screen LAUGH with Li'l Abner Your Favorite cartoon character...in person on the SCREEN!”

Li'l Abner becomes convinced that he is going to die within twenty-four hours, so agrees to marry two different girls: Daisy Mae (who has chased him for years) and Wendy Wilecat (who rescued him from an angry mob). It is all settled at the Sadie Hawkins Day race.
