They all are good friends and professional  African American men in the community.  But they are also theatrical, comical and exciting folks. One of the men is a popular  Actor and the women love him to death. The  gossip around the community is not too good.  Instead of living in Hollywood, he prefers to live in his hometown, Big D.  His first marriage is over. Gossip is the main reason for untruthful accusations upon him. He decides to marry a younger woman which makes that the hit list and first thing on the agenda every morning at the Beauty Salons, Supermarkets and even in the Churches. Everywhere he goes, people stare and whisper behind his back as he and his younger wife strut down the aisles of Supermarkets.

Often, young kids run up to him for autographs before he gets into his Red Convertible White Top Mercedes Benz.  Being around his high school and college friends is like taking him back to the good old days of acting on the stage. He jokes about them still being actors in their professions.  But the gossiping is getting to him and his younger wife.  He has to do something about the accusations before he loses another wife. 

One woman in the community is the main source that spreads the gossip, in the Supermarkets, Parking lots, Beauty Salons and Churches. She is bad news to him.  She is out to get the Actor. It is a jealousy that stems from high school.  But one day as the five friends are sitting drinking beer and laughing, one of his friends talk about what folks are saying about  him. 

The Actor puts a sly grin on his face. He tell them he has a plan.  He want them to be a part of his  plot. Two Detectives, City Coroner, Mortuary owner and proprietor of the Casket business are skeptical.  But he tries to convince them that it will give the gossiping women something really to spread and put their mouths to rest.  It’s the perfect plan, he thinks. He tell his friends that fear will stop all gossiping mouths and this plan is the remedy.  They laugh at the thought of acting it out.  They think that the idea is unbelievable and crazy. But the Actor is serious as he wait for their approval.  Hip-Hop, Gospel and the sound of the saxophone compliments the comedy storyline.
