Summaries

A motivational speaker discovers that the inheritance his father left for him is in the form of an elephant.

Motivational Speaker Jack Corcoran is determined to get his career off the ground, but the biggest gigs he can get are the ones nobody wants. Then one day, he receives a telegram that his circus clown father has passed away, and has left a "huge" inheritance. When he gets there, he finds that it has come in the form of a elephant that was his father's pride and joy in circus acts. His main intention is to sell it off. He must choose between loud and rude zookeeper Mo or attractive animal show owner Terry. As they trek through the country he and the elephant develop a bond, and it changes his approach on life for the better.—Pat McCurry <[email protected]>
