| TUFFY'S BATTLE |
| Leroy (Tuffy) Battle, who fought many skirmishes during his seventy plus years, vies with the ultimate challenger: lung cancer. Reunited with an old high school sweetheart, Morgan Mills, facing similar circumstances, the impaired pair opts to meet a bleak future with alternative medicine and each other. While attempting to right a few wrongs from previous years, Leroy and Morgan come into possession of a corpse that is practically impossible to logically explain. The deputy sheriff, investigating what she believes to be a murder, turns out to be the daughter of a man Leroy almost killed in a dispute many years ago. The deputy has sworn revenge for her wronged father and spares no personal resources to bring Leroy and his girlfriend to justice. This includes posing nude for an internet porn site. Leroy and Morgan are forced underground to take their cancer treatments and avoid the deputy, who encounters a hotbed of illegal aliens, dope smugglers, prostitution and cock fighting during her probe. |

In June of 1956, Bruce Temple has a high school diploma in his hand and little
thought in his head of how to conquer his newest challenges: college, military
obligation, career field, virginity. On a whim, he lands a job in a TV station near
his hometown. Mastering TV production techniques is a slow, stressful learning
experience for Bruce, however, his personal life education accelerates when his
long-time friend, Larry Stone, gets a job at the station. Larry and female co-
workers introduce Bruce to the life a Southern Baptist boy has only heard about
in sermons. Provoked at a party, Larry breaks the TV weatherman’s jaw and is
fired. Bruce is also canned due to an event indirectly related to the party. Ol’
Mac, TV station handyman and Bruce’s philosophical mentor, quits his job in
protest of the firings. The jobless trio hit the road in search of fame, fortune,
women, the meaning of life, and their next meal.
| In late 1961, Bruce Temple has fulfilled his military obligation and takes over the job he was hired to do two years earlier at a TV station in Two Rivers, Mississippi. Bruce also takes up where he left off with Sue Ann Crawford, his true love and senior pre-med student at Memphis State University. A few weeks into the new job, Bruce is fired after several unnerving civil rights-related incidents, beginning when a lynch mob comes to the studio seeking a black politician and culminating when Bruce and a cohort are severely beaten after they filmed Freedom Riders attempting to integrate a Greyhound bus station. Confused and desperate, Bruce accepts a TV job offer in Texas, sight unseen. He realizes he has made a monumental mistake the moment he enters the station. He reluctantly accepts the challenge; however, maintaining a serious love relationship between Banta, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee, is difficult at best. Besides a pipsqueak program director and a tyrannical general manager in Texas, Bruce’s situation is further complicated by a beautiful weather girl and a nympho traffic director, each of whom wants to test his loyalty to his betrothed. |
