Description

Her husband, Lenny Joe, had crossed the line and Jesus couldn't help him out of the fix he'd put himself into. Carlene and two of her cousins own and operate Bless My Bloomers. One cousin, Emma Ray, stands by Carlene in her decision to leave Lenny Joe. The other one says Carlene should stick with him. That causes contention in Bless My Bloomers. And their three mothers keep the flames fanned. They thought it a complete disgrace that the girls ever started a fancy panty factory to begin with and now a divorce! Lenny Joe and his team have won The Red-Hot Chili Cook-off contest for the past ten years so Carlene decides to hit him where it hurts and enters Bless My Bloomers in the cook-off where no woman has dared venture before. Stand back.
