Leonard lands in jail for burning down his neighbor's crack house. Hap agrees to go to Grovetown to look for a missing Florida Grange if Lt. Hanson will release Leonard.
After fleeing the Klan, Hap and Leonard become lost in a thicket outside Grovetown, where they discover Florida's abandoned car and find her tape recorder.
Hap and Leonard escape the thicket and return to Grovetown more determined than ever to find Florida. Before Hap and Leonard can call Charlie for backup, Truman Brown's gang arrives and overpowers the duo.
Hap discovers a new clue about Florida's whereabouts and reconciles with Leonard; Officer Reynolds shows up unexpectedly with the FBI as the duo hatches a plan to return to Grovetown.
