Nach Celia Arceneaux‘ überraschender Wahl zur Bürgermeisterin von Sinful, Louisiana, ist Fortune Redding klar, dass die Schwierigkeiten nun vorprogrammiert sind.

Besonders, wenn sie damit ihre Rachepläne gegen ihre Erzfeindinnen Ida Belle und Gertie verwirklichen kann. Und die setzt Celia auch gleich in die Tat um: Sie feuert den Sheriff und stellt ihren Cousin Nelson als Polizeichef ein, der Fortune und ihren Freundinnen auf Schritt und Tritt Ärger macht.

Ein Wilderer treibt sein Unwesen in Sinful, Louisiana, und Deputy Carter LeBlanc will ihn unbedingt erwischen, bevor die State Police Wind davon bekommt und ihm die Zuständigkeit entzieht. Leider wird er dabei ständig von Celia Arceneaux behindert, der amtierenden Bürgermeisterin und schrecklichsten Einwohnerin von Sinful, die nach einem Grund sucht, Carter zu suspendieren.

Ausgerechnet Deputy Carter LeBlanc hat sie zum Essen eingeladen – der Mann, der ihre Tarnung gefährden könnte. Zum Glück stehen ihr die munteren Seniorinnen Ida Belle und Gertie mit Rat und manch unüberlegter Tat zur Seite.
