Although his family produces foul-smelling catfish bait, kindhearted Cade doesn't believe in killing fish. This makes him an easy mark for a fraudulent woman whose interests stem from greed rather than a concern for animal rights. The ensuing caper takes an exaggerated route into the heart of catfish country, with Jennings trolling for every bit of humor, satire, and slapstick he can find.
