Me and Snack McGhee: The Adventures of Chance Dugan

4/5 ( ratings)

Chance Dugan–retired at 33 and living on board Chicago, a derelict boat–and his buddy, Snack McGhee, keep getting innocently embroiled in other people's problems. Like Jinx, whose boyfriend sails off in her catamaran. Finding it gets Chance and Snack involved in a drug bust. Or how about the two old-time gangsters showing up to reclaim a treasure stashed years ago on board Chicago? Only it ain't there. There is the drunken woman at a library celebration who claims her feet were stolen, but the guy who stole them is found in the children's section with a knife in his chest. And when Chance is asked to pretend he is one of the richest men in the world, a horticultural genius–or looney tunes crackpot–gets Chance and Snack wacko on Happy Tomatoes. Finally, Chance's girlfriend wants to sneak into the Drum Point Lighthouse and make love on the old lighthouse keeper's bed. How can he say no to that?
And through it all, Al Capone disputes Chance's ownership of Chicago, treating him with malevolent disdain in spite of his feeding her and cleaning out the litter box.
Damn cat.
