✦ Synopsis

BIG RED’S DAUGHTER

It all starts with a road accident. Jim Work has just returned from Korea and is driving around Carmel. Buddy Brown cuts in front of him, they collide. And that’s how he meets Wild Kearny, Buddy’s girl.

But the first thing Work sees when he gets out of his car is Buddy’s fist. Buddy likes to make a quick impression. In fact, as Work finds out, Buddy likes to inflict pain in general.

After they fight, and Work gets the worst of it, he follows them up to Wild’s pad, the Zoo, where he meets her rich friends. Wild’s hot-headed father is coming to town, and she asks Work if he would pose as her boyfriend so she won’t have to introduce Buddy. She knows her father well enough to know they won’t get along. Big Red Kearny isn’t a man to mince words—if Work is the boyfriend, then Work is going to marry his daughter. But not if Buddy finds him first.

And so begins the wildest weekend of Jim Work’s life.
