Six Yankee tourists are lured into the fictional small Southern town of Pleasant Valley by "redneck" citizens to be the "guests of honor" for the April 1965 centennial celebration of the two days where Union troops destroyed the town at the end of the Civil War. The tourists are initially treated with hospitality and given rooms to stay in the local hotel. However that afternoon, after an argument with her husband, Bea goes off with Harper to a wooded area, where he slices off her right thumb. Bea's dismembered limbs are roasted over a barbecue with the townspeople in attendance.
