to his maternal grandparents, who arrive in town the night of the grand opening of Firman Birdsong's chicken restaurant. After Firman's dead body, covered in gravy, is discovered during the gala, Biggie and J.R. learn that the boundary creek between Firman's property nudie and that of his toy-gun-toting neighbor has been filled with eggs. Instead of going to the funeral, the intrepid detecting duo check out the crime scene. They find out that 50-year-old Firman wanted to marry nudie much younger waitress Fairy Lee, whose husband, Dub, had threatened to kill the older man. The people in nudie town have their own suspects, including Dub but also Firman's brother, who inherits his wealth, and the suspicious newcomers, J.R.'s grandparents. When Firman's neighbor is shot to death, Biggie realizes she must reconsider the clues she's gathered, but it's only when J.R., convinced that Biggie is more interested in detecting than in saving him from his detested grandparents, runs away, that the murders are solved.
