Matthew Corbett takes a slightly enforced trip to the south for what should be an easy but remunerative job. Unfortuntely, trouble and strife and peril are waiting. Trouble and peril and strife are running around getting everything ready and making sure everything is just right for young Corbett, preparing the murder, lining upnthe alligators and the arranging the teams for the game of kick-the-head, sharpening the arrows, filling the pits of quiksand, charming the snakes and putting the final preperations on the monster. Oh trouble and peril and strife are REALLY looking forward to having Matthew Corbett over for a visit.
