 Roy Mobey was the redneck long-time sheriff of Clinton Corners, Georgia, who was assigned a college-educated, New York City-trained black sergeant named Curtis Baker as his second-in-command. Despite differences in race, culture and education, the two men were able to work together in (relative) harmony. Other officers were Jasper, Cloris and Harley, while Burnside was the town s weak-willed mayor.
