Committeeman John A.P. Good is the key to the rupture of the Independents. He is a pleasant, balding, soft-voiced man, who occasionally offers candy to the press and seems a caricature of the smooth and successful local politician. But since he joined the Committee last January he has been under repeated attack from Duehay, first for allegedly making a political deal and now for "cronyism."

The grifter is the Flim Flam Man, a wheezy, sleazy slicker who for half a century has taken yokels with potency pills, crooked cards and his smooth Mason-Dixon line. The drifter is AWOL from Fort Bragg, and hungry. Scott proposes a merger, and the two are soon fast-shuffling their way to fortune, until the locals get wise to their brand of three-card monte and call the cops...
