When Pete's plane crashes in the swamp, he's rescued by young Tammy, an unsophisticated backwoods girl who lives with her lay-preacher-cum-moonshiner grandfather. When Pete's well, he goes back home to his fiancée. But then Grampa gets sent to jail and he sends Tammy to stay with Pete. At Pete's house, Tammy's home cooking, enthusiasm and quaint sunshiny personality bring about changes in Pete's family and in Pete himself. ------- Living in the Mississippi River bayou country of Louisiana, seventeen year old Tammy Tyree and her grandpa John Dinwitty rescue Peter Brent, whose float plane crashed in the swamp near their houseboat. For Tammy, it's love at first sight. After Tammy nurses Peter back to health and he leaves to go home, Tammy is torn up believing that she'll never see him again. But when Grandpa is arrested for moonshining, he sends Tammy to stay with Pete, who previously agreed to look after her if anything ever happened to him. The uneducated and not traveled Tammy is more scared than excited to see Pete's life first hand: that he comes from a wealthy family, lives in a large country mansion with his bookish father, judgmental mother and artistically inclined Aunt Renie, and wants to work in the country doing agricultural research developing a new higher yielding and disease resistant tomato variety. Pete dreams of converting their land into a working, economically viable farm. Tammy also meets Pete's girlfriend, Barbara Bissle, who Pete talked about during his recuperation. Barbara and Pete admit that they have their fundamental differences, which they'll have to resolve if they ever decide to marry. Despite Tammy being in a different social class, she has a profound effect on those she meets there. She particularly catches the eye of Pete's friend, Ernie. But it still is Pete she is hoping will notice her as more than just a friend. ------- Tambrey "Tammy" Tyree lives in the bayou with her grandpa John Dinwitty. She rescues the pilot of a downed private airplane, Peter Brent, and over several weeks nurses him back to health. She also takes quite a liking to him. When Grandpa is sent to jail for moonshining, Tammy decides to accept Peter's offer to visit. Peter lives in a once grand plantation house that he is desperately trying to save by experimenting with new crops that he hopes will provide an income to maintain the place. He loves farming life, something that sets him at odds with his fiancée Barbara. Tammy is like a breath of fresh air and she has a positive influence on all of those around he, including Peter. ------- Aunt Renie, who has named her cat Picasso, would rather be a real artist in New Orleans than the owner of the Tara-like Southern estate where Tammy comes after her grandfather is jailed for making moonshine whiskey. Aunt Renie also plays the role of Tammy's fairy godmother who transforms her into a captivating belle who looks just like the portrait of an ancestress of this elite Southern family, an ancestress who walked barefoot from Virginia.
