Every summer Wicked Jerry's Traveling Show eases back onto the road. Legend has it that the first gig was in '46 in an empty farmer's field somewhere in Pennsylvania. An ex-bomber pilot named Jerry Kendle sunk all the money he'd stashed away while overseas into a Packard and a small Creole band out of Louisiana. All good things end up tainted. A murder, a mystery, and a mandolin all now haunt the fortunes of the show that has rolled into legend.
