It’s Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters—Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye—are not exactly in a festive mood.  Frankie is overdue with her second set of twins.  Twink is in jail for inadvertently burning down half the town.  Honey Raye is trying to produce the Tabernacle of the Lamb’s Christmas Program, but the former director is ruthlessly trying to take over.  And the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters’ Pancake Supper.

Set in the land of the Amazons, where the women rule and do battle while the men stay at home, mind the children, and buy new hats.  An army of Greek soldiers, led by Theseus and Hercules, arrives in search of the Sacred Girdle of Diana, currently in the hands of reigning Queen Hippolyta.  The Greek warriors are captured by the Amazons, and romance blossoms between Theseus and Antiope, the Amazon warrior-leader.
