In Hunk City, Wilcox takes us to southeast Louisiana, where Burma van Buren, thanks to a recent inheritance, is the wealthiest woman in St. Jude Parish. Still working at a bargain store, Burma is having trouble finding the right charity with which to share her fortune.

Meanwhile, Mr. Harper, Burmas staunch Republican accountant with eyelashes to die for, works to keep her money out of the hands of the local Democrats.
