The Reel ‘Em Inn is one of the finest little fishing lodges in the Ozarks. Innkeeper D. Gene Willburn wants nothing more than a quiet weekend on the lake. However, he faces a series of increasingly wacky obstacles. His wife is white-knuckling her way through caffeine withdrawal. His sister, a police officer, is on a bizarre undercover assignment. His adult son is parading around in a can-can costume. But the comic fireworks really explode when the Wilburn family hosts a strange assortment of guests over a story weekend: a snobbish English talk-show host, a hapless bow-tied Midwesterner, a group of nuns housed in the barn, a vengeful ex-wife and lurking among them all, a serial killer. This high energy farce will have audiences doubled over with laughter until the final hilarious complication.
