Plot

Dill Scallion, a school bus driver residing in a small Texan community, unexpectedly catapults into stardom within the country and western music scene. His sudden rise follows the success of his song, "I Discovered Love at a Relative Gathering," which becomes a chart-topper. Dill gains immense fame for his distinct dance routines, which are notably unconventional due to a serious foot injury. To maintain his signature dance moves, Dill continually re-injures his foot, allowing him to keep performing.
