Plot Overview
While looking into why Rocky's truck was ran off the road and the contents--a load of breakfast sausages--was set afire, Jim discovers that a country singer who owns the sausage company is being taken advantage of. The singer has no idea that the sausages aren't being made in Arkansas like he thought, but in Mexico, and that the transportation method is a little on the shady side.
