The citizens of the southern town Pleasant Valley lure six Yankee tourists into town where they are to be the reluctant guests for the centennial celebration of the day a band of renegade Union troops decimated the town.

Quotes Tom White: Has it occurred to you that nobody has told us what this centennial is all about? Now, this is 1965, and a hundred years ago it was 1865, right? So, what happened in 1865?
Terry Adams: It was the ending of Civil War. The War Between the States!
Tom White: Well, then, you tell me, why would a Southern town want Northerners as guests of honor at the centennial? It must have something to do with what happened a hundred years ago. So, something is very wrong with this town.
