Angels vs Gangsters vs Moonshiners
16 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Kelly, Kris and Julie get hired by a southern state to investigate a conflict between two corn-liquor distillers (aka moonshine men) whose operations have gone on for generations, and apparently so has a family feud between the two men. Inevitably, a male and female grandchild of these men, respectively, are falling in love, which threatens the "stability" of the rivalry. In the meanwhile, there is a New York City based mobster who wants to escalate the conflict, and get more money out of the distilleries.

Kris works for one of the distillers operating the conversion machine; Kelly goes undercover as a car driver for the other distiller; Julie becomes a waitress at a popular local diner where the Mobster likes to visit on his trips to town. Bosley pretends to be a Texas "moonshine distributor" who wants to go into business with both of the feuding grandpas.

The patriarchs of the two families look disturbingly similar. At the risk of a really bad joke, could it be that these two are related, and thus their grandchildren are... technically.. related? Something of a southern stereotype, to be sure.

There is not much action to the climax, though there is a car chase and some explosions (separately). You get to see Kelly and Kris affect southern accents, to varying effect.
