Summary
Sagamore Noonan is the owner of a small farm, although his main
preoccupation is distilling whisky illegally, which he tries to keep
from the attention of the local sheriff. He lives with his
brother Doc Noonan, a ruined bookmaker, Billy, his eight-year old
nephew, and Noé, an eccentric uncle who is building a ship to
survive the end of the world. One day, a strange couple, Caroline
and her Uncle Simeon, turn up on the farm, looking for a place to stay
for a day or two. These two are in fact a pair of diamond
thieves, and their latest haul of jewels is concealed in Caroline’s
bikini. It isn’t long before the Noonan brothers have some more
unexpected guests, all eager to get their hands on Caroline’s leisure
wear...
