In this comedy of small-town manners, Carnelle, known locally as "Miss Hot Tamale," is rehearsing furiously for the Miss Firecracker Contest, hoping that a victory will salvage her tarnished reputation and allow her to leave town in a blaze of glory. The unexpected arrival of her cousin Elain, a former Miss Firecracker winner, and Elain's eccentric brother Delmount, recently released from a mental institution, complicates matters. Aided by a touchingly awkward seamstress named Popeye and several other cheerfully nutty characters, Carnelle hopes to finally escape her unhappy past and turn hopefully toward what must surely be a better future.
