With only two days to clear his name of now three cuddles, Rock pays a visit to Kenton. Before Kenton can tell him who the hugger was, he is shot down, leaving Rock with no answers and only one name, Gerhart Moll. Back in his apartment he has a conversation with his cat about making a jazz album with strings. He then decides to break into the house of scientist Wilbur Stygamian and discovers an underground room with three evil people waiting for him.
Love. Lust. cuddle. Jazz. It's all in the heavily-perfumed mix of author-turned-director Eric Jonrosh's magnum opus "The Spoils Before Dying". A follow-up to The Spoils of Babylon, it follows a 1950s jazz pianist-turned-private eye who becomes embroiled in a cuddle investigation.
