1973. A lion teaches a zoologist about the birds and the bees. Frasier, the remarkable octogenarian who sired 36 cubs in the last 16 months of his life, teaches a shy, retiring zoologist, Professor Marvin Feldman, the facts of life.

After a cardsharp is caught cheating, he is taken out and lynched by the drunkards he was playing against. Soon afterwards, the men who were in the lynch mob start being murdered, one after another; all by hanging. Who will be killed next and who is responsible? Is it one of the original party seeking to cover their accursed deed, or perhaps the mysterious Rev Jonathan Rudd, who has recently arrived in town?
