Description

Everybody knows that whatever you need, you can find it at Hurley Squonk's general store, the Hitchin' Post. 

Run by Hurley himself, this sort of "everything store" serves as a meeting place for the locals:

Pinch Burdett, who spends all his time hawking his wife's jams and telling stories; Mrs. Bastrop, a feisty lady who got thrown out of the town's softball tournament; and Gloria, a romantic teen who camps out at Hurley's magazine stand. But the laid-back pace changes when a young couple from out of town enter. Lyge, a "mamma's boy," and his fiancee Purdy, have picked today to elope and are in a bit of a hurry. 

Little does anyone know, his overbearing mother and her meek secretary have put the bumbling Sheriff Bumgarden on their trail to stop the wedding. And if this weren't enough, two brothers, Roy and Earl, burst in to hold up the store! 

It goes a little crazy from here.
