โฆ Synopsis
Moskowitz Memorial Laboratory janitor Cletus Busters is caught red-handed in a restricted area with the frozen head of Dr. Whitney Valentine, one of the lab's most prestigious researchers. Busters won't say much, except that he's innocent. Given his conspicuous record and past as a voodoo guru, all signs point to life in prison
And with the trial less than a week away, his lawyer has made exactly two motionsโheading to the bar for several rounds of Wild Turkey and begging Tubby Dubonnet for help.
Meanwhile, Tubby's taken on a new clientโa female boxer with an abusive boyfriendโand referees the romantic entanglements of his ex-wife and three teenage daughters.
But as Busters' trial proceeds and the jury savors the startling evidence, the danger mounts. Revealing the murderer could prove to be Tubby's biggest triumphโor his last case ever.
