SEARCHING FOR UNCLE BUBBA
SYNOPSIS
Jesse and Luke, two mountain boys, travel to a world alien to them, the city. They go there to honor their Uncle Bubba's dying wish, bring home his body so he can be buried with his pet pig.
But their journey is smeared with pig grease right from the
beginning. They get pulled over by a Female Cop, and when they told her about Bubba, she thought they were there to whack him. She would have locked
them up right then and there but she had no evidence. But everywhere Jesse and Luke go she just happens to be in the neighborhood.
In the city they meet a beautiful Hooker dressed like a Nun named Britney. Luke falls for her real quick and he beats up some bad guy who was trying to hurt her. Britney befriends the boys and allows them to
stay at her apartment while she goes out on the town. Luke decides to pretty himself up for Britney while Jesse tries to use an electric stove. Trying to make some popcorn Jesse accidentally starts a fire. Next thing you know, that Lady Cop breaks down the apartment door and hauls the
boy's off to jail. Luke scares the hell out of the other prisoners with his new pretty makeover. They think he’s Satan. They weren't there to long because some stranger straightened the whole mess out.
Then Luke mistakes a real Nun for Britney and he does something you should never do to a Nun. So this Nun makes Luke see some old deaf Priest who convinces Luke he's pregnant. Jesse also meets some old Lady who
teaches him about Karate, and a Drug Dealer who wants Jesse to escape reality with him. And after meeting up with these two poor souls Jesse now has to convince Luke he isn’t pregnant.
So off they go to the local hospital for a visit to your friendly psychiatrist. Well thank heaven for shrinks, Luke finds out he is, never was, and could not be pregnant. Luke wants to repay the hospital’s kindness but he has no money. So he donates blood, about a gallon of it. But
after drinking a few cases of tomato juice Luke’s blood level returns to normal.
Jesse and Luke search the Morgue and the Cemetery but they can't find Bubba's body. What they do find, according to their misunderstanding is the way city folk say hello. “City folk don’t say hi using their whole hand like we do Jess” says Luke, they just stick up their middle
finger like this. Well Luke and Jesse decide to be friendly so they say hi the city folk way to some thugs on the street. Thank heavens they have a fast car.
Still no luck in finding Bubba so they take a ride to another cemetery. Nope, no Bubba buried here but they do find this Stuttering War Veteran who lives in a cardboard box that everyone was taking away from him
and this Drunk who thinks he’s an Angel. Now they have another problem, help the vet find his box home and convince the drunk he cannot fly.
Then the light shins bright and they find Bubba sitting in a store window. But they think he’s possessed because his head falls off. They don't know the Bubba they found is just a look alike mannequin. They drive all over the city getting into awful situations until Luke gets
hungry and Jesse has to relieve himself. So Jesse pulls into a convenience store but he gets locked in the men’s room while Luke is mistaken for the guy who robbed this store yesterday. All things at the store get
straightened out but during this confusion the real Bubba changes places with the dummy and falls asleep.
Still thinking Bubba is possessed, they get the old deaf Priest to perform an exorcism on him and Bubba comes back to life. Well he awakes and finds himself covered in car oil, with a candle in his ear and a tire iron on his chest.
Thing is Bubba was never dead he was faking it. Bubba won the lottery and he wanted to see who would be deserving of his money when he does die. So he sent out his dying wish to his entire family and Jesse and Luke were the only ones who tried to honor it.
But it doesn't end here. On their way back to the mountains that Bad Guy kidnaps Britney. The Veteran and the Drunk join Jesse and Luke and after a heck of a chase they save her. Seems this Bad Guy is a serial killer and Britney is really an undercover cop. Britney takes an early retirement to go back to the mountains with them so she can marry Luke.
