Jimmy Two-Shoes

by Leonard Wise

Overview

Young, handsome Jimmy Two-shoes’ parents were indifferent to him from the moment he was born, but they selfishly adored each other. So it was left up to his loving and intellectual grandmother to raise him. An accident kills the parents, cripples Grandma, and puts Jimmy in a temporary coma. Once Jimmy recovers, he and Grandma decide to move out of the cold of Lake Tahoe and down to the warm weather of Culver City in Southern California. It’s a struggle for them moneywise, but then something happens to change their lives for the better. A sleazy, hateful bookie they call “Ham,” among other derogatory names, has his office downstairs below Jimmy’s apartment. When the local Mob murders the bookie for a bad debt, Jimmy, with his group of weird and comical friends including Bitsy, Rabbit, Mazy and others, take over the business. Things are going well until the Mob begins to come after Jimmy. That is when the real fun begins.
