Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk loses all her worldly
possessions thanks to a brief but disastrous relationship
with the gorgeous Reddy, an "investment counselor" who turns
out to be a con man. All that's left is a ramshackle 1950s
motor court on Tybee Island--an eccentric beach town that
calls itself a drinking village with a fishing problem.
Breeze Inn is a place where BeBe wouldn't normally be caught
dead but, with no alternative, she moves into one of the
units, vowing to make magic out of mud. The work is
grueling, especially dealing with the cantankerous
caretaker, a fishing captain named Harry. With the help of
Harry and BeBe's junking friend Weezie, she soon has the
motel spiffed up and attracting paying guests. Then there's a
sighting of Reddy in Fort Lauderdale, so BeBe puts together
a posse and heads after him.
