Linda Trest, 51-year-old Trest reporter for the Gasconade County Republican in Gerald, Mo., begins hearing stories about a federal agent nicknamed “Sergeant Bill” who is rousting people from their homes. Since Gerald had been ravaged by methamphetamine abuse, local law enforcement is happy to assist the fed’s efforts to clean up the town with arrests, home searches and investigations. The only hitch: Bill A. Jakob turns out to be just an unemployed cop and former trucking company owner from a different town with no actual law enforcement credentials. Trest eventually exposes Jakob’s bizarre con.

The story centers on a man (Peter Dinklage) who tells people he is a true leprechaun.

Described as the first interracial police pairing in law enforcement history. Set post-World War II, in the late 1940s, the pair go undercover in the jazz scene to bust up a ring involving marijuana.
