Moochie's Place - Quick Read Synopsis
MOOCHIE'S PLACE - Author Jim Murdock
She likes to eat and he likes to cook. MOOCHIE DUNLOP and her husband, BUD
ARRINGTON, open a home cooking restaurant.
Their friends help remodel a quaint old building in downtown Athens for Moochie's Place. Bud and UNCLE BILLY rebuild one booth to handle Moochie's girth. They also find a jukebox which belongs to an old woman with a wart in the middle of her forehead who makes a pass at Uncle Billy.
PRETTY BOY, a precocious parrot, who was raised next to a TV in the bedroom of an
old movie buff, comes up with hilarious comments at appropriate times, such as "Gawk! Who's your daddy?" When the bird is banned from inside by the Health Department, and forced to stay outside by the door, Moochie and Bud bring a law suit on his behalf. Pretty Boy is kidnapped. There are demonstrations. Clint Eastwood calls offering his support.
Moochie is famous for her hugs. SLAPPER SLOCUM, a neighboring entrepreneur,
makes a fortune selling T-shirts with Moochie's picture on the front and "I survived a Moochie hug" on the back. It becomes a fad among University of Georgia students.
WILSON LUMKIN, a jealous restaurateur across the street slaps Moochie who returns the favor. He breaks into the restaurant and is the one who hired the kidnapping of Pretty Boy. When he discovers that his grandfather had hidden a fortune in the Moochie's Place
building, he breaks in again and later runs Bud off the road putting his life in danger.
Moochie becomes a permanent guest on the "Lay it on Grady Show." She is
responsible for it becoming a syndicated radio program. A grassroots "Moochie for President" campaign is started . The attention brings Morley Safer of 60 Minutes for a rib-tickling interview with she and Bud. Leaders and politicians flock to Moochie's Place
for advice and a hug from the new folk hero.
Moochie and Bud buy the building next door, tear a hole in the wall and find the lost fortune. The money is hidden. The challenge is to protect the money from Lumkin.
Arsonists hired by Lumkin set the restaurant on fire and Bud's life is in grave danger until he is rescued by Moochie. Pretty Boy is missing.
