The smash hit song was considered scandalous and the movie is a terrific satire with a fun-loving comedy style. It's all about that fateful day when "my momma socked it to the Harper Valley PTA!" Poor Stella Johnson (Barbara Eden) and her 13-year-old daughter Dee (Susan Swift) seem to have been overlooked by the Harper Valley welcome wagon. Perhaps it's because Harper Valley (Pat Paulsen) wives have suddenly noticed that their husbands leave for work the same time voluptuous Stella, a widow, goes for her daily jog. These same matrons have decided that Stella should go back where she came from, and threaten to expel her daughter from school because of Stella's nonconformist ways. They'll get theirs, however, because angry Stella and her friend Alice (Nanette Fabray) have conceived a masterful plan for revenge. What ensues is a hysterical scenario of Harper Valley housekeeping - with Stella wielding the broom - as every PTA member gets his/her just desserts. A delicious comedy confection for the whole family!
