Toss in Jack's best friend, Earl Murphy, a black man who made a fortune on Wall Street and sleeps in his Aston-Martin Lagonda by Jack's creek...George, the catfish king, and cheery funeral director Eddie Trost.

Jack is content with Cecily Benet, the frozen yogurt queen, until Max Coomer's widow, Millie Jean, fans the flames of her old romance with Jack--an idea that catches on with Millie's jailbait daughter, Smoothy, who decides to take a run at Jack herself.

Maybe Jack can straighten everything out, before a nutcase knocks off everyone in town...
