Alligator Man
by Jack A Kaplan

THE STORY: For years the alligators of the Grand Cheniere swamp have stood idly by while gator men have invaded their territory in search of hides, fortune and fame.

But when Telesphonte Broussard, proudest member of the parish's notorious gator-poaching family, kills the girlfriend of Gruesome Gator the years of apathy end.

Unaware that vengeance stalks his footsteps, Les goes about his business while his scaly adversary, armed only with his wits and “poetic license” secures a weapon and a confederate—Les' own prudish sister-in-law, Georgiana.

Her staged “kidnapping” lures Les to the swamp and a fatal fight amidst a raging hurricane.

In the end “justice” triumphs, and the alligator launches his career as a Broussard—dedicated to supplying the Cajun community with all the “albino” gator hides it can use.
