They return to his backwoods home. Only
then does she discover he has six brothers - all living in his
cabin.. Milly sets out to reform the uncouth sibling, who are
anxious to get wives of their own. But after reading about the Roman
capture of the Sabine women, Adam develops an inspired solution to
his brother's loneliness..kidnap the women they want!

clapping effervescent energy, dazzling dance routines and sixteen

integrates song, dance and story.
