Act I

The story begins as Doogski, Diesel, and Moose, along with their mortician pal, Digger, are slowly waking up on the last day of their annual week at the shack and are about to go through the most unforgettable day of their lives.

Starting with a slightly fuzzy recollection of the night before, Doogski and Digger break into an off-key version of “We Sang Too Much Again,” which provides a great clue as to how these self-named mighty hunters solve all their problems.

After Diesel is grunting and groaning as he struggles to move, and then a somewhat successful attempt of trying to pry Moose off his comfort spot on the floor, the four ‘Beerheads’ dig into a he-man’s breakfast of yeast, barley, and hops. It’s all they have, after a peek into their refrigerator reveals something rancid that will take “A River of Brew” to wash down.

Now the threat from their wives to “bring home something besides a hangover or no more hunting trips” sinks into their fog-filled craniums, and they shift into panic mode as they realize they’re without a plan to fulfill their destiny and save their prized hunting shack.

A quick suggestion by Moose to “go out and shoot one” is answered with the rousing “We’re Mighty Hunters” song. Well, that’s never going to happen with these guys.

The similarity of suggestions by Moose and Diesel give rise to the possibility that they’re related or, as Moose explains, “Diesel married my neighbor’s wife, Darlene, so now he’s my brother-in-law.” Diesel sets the record straight with the very confusing “What A Mess” song.

Still without a plan to save their shack, it’s realized a full stomach may help them think more clearly. Digger provides a money-saving coupon as they all compare being married to “Coupon Clipping Ladies.”

It’s finally time to head out the door and get some lunch. Nope. It’s still too early. Instead, a lively discussion is held on what it would be like to be stuck in the shack in a blizzard and just who would you like to have with you if you were snow-bound. It becomes daydream time as they all sit back and sing “A Special Place for Us.”

Now they leave for lunch.

Act II

After a disastrous lunch at ‘Bob and Betty’s Beer, Bait and Bullets,’ they slowly trickle back into the shack while Moose explains why he is nursing a bleeding nose. Realizing all may be lost and they may never come back, they discuss what the future will bring. Digger, being the bachelor of the gang, explains why he never married his dream gal from college with “She’s Different Somehow.”

Distraught, the guys try to relax and serenely enjoy their last hours in their beloved shack, only to be interrupted by the blast of a grunt horn. This raspy sound reminds them of a sound all men can make without the use of a horn, simply by using body functions to produce their own “Grunt Horn Song.”

A discussion about what their wives are doing while they’re gone to the shack lets Doogski sound off with a soft-shoe styled song, “She’s Playing Bingo,” and sets up Moose to share how Elsie spends her days alone.

This leads into the crowd-pleasing "Male Dancers,” and the guys attempt to musically show their stuff.

It’s time for one final toast and to leave the shack forever, when their worst disaster strikes... They run out of beer! Moose is sent, begrudgingly, on a beer run, and thanks to an earlier buck-scent accident and an old hard-starting pick-up truck, he scares a deer right through the wall of the shack. Problem solved, deer caught, and they joyfully close with the “The Mighty Hunter Reprise."
