The Garden of Evil is a mischievous carnival that has the “world’s largest gorilla” as the most popular act of the carnival. Supposedly the giant gorilla killed 1,000 men before he was apprehended. Barker Joey Matthews and provocative femme fatale Laverne, the owner’s wife, are about to team up for the gorilla show. Problems arise when a man is discovered dead with a broken neck.

Garrison is on the scene to discover four intertwined love connections amid those suspicious of the crime.
