Joe Carslake is in the town of Linmouth to visit a pal of his named
Godfrey for a quiet weekend in the country. All is going well except
the two murders and the ulcer. His weekend started with the girl at the
gas station in the bikini. It further developed into a double cross with
his buddy Godfrey, whose idea of fun was to twist Joe's arm and break
it. The weekend further developed with a girl named Lucille who did not
know the finer things in life and thought Joe was the guy to put the
love into her, but her father disagreed. The weekend really could have
been happening if the frustrated brunette by the name of Jennifer made
sure it did not happen. Joe did not mind the corpses, up until the
police lieutenant thought he was responsible for them. And Joe did not
mind the gangsters until they started minding him. It all started with a
real estate deal. It was real alright, but the only estate he was
likely to wind up in was a six foot plot.
