Former
prosecuter Dixie Flannigan is fearless when it comes to facing
down lowlifes and bail jumpers. But she'd rather wrestle the
meanest snake in a Texas bayou than balance her own check book.
So when, during a stakeout, Dixie learns that a sizable sum
of cash is missing from her account, she makes sure her quarry
is in cuffs and then heads for her local bank...only to find
herself in the middle of a holdup carried out by a most unlikely
robber.
Pointing a .38 at the terrified teller is a middle aged
woman with a pleasant - and shockingly familiar - face. Dixie
can only
watch in disbelief as Edna Pine, the neighbor she loves like
family, makes off with three bags of stolen loot.
No way could the kind, gentle, thoughtful soul Dixie knows as
Aunt Edna turn into a gun-wielding bank robber. Yet the situation
becomes even more surreal when Edna leads cops on a high-speed
chace that ends in a violent shoot out. Suddenly Edna is dead,
the money has vanished, and the police have dubbed Edna the latest
in a string of "granny bandits." |
