Mayhew, Texas is loaded with colorful characters attached to twin brothers who land in Mayhaw, a small Texas town named for a tree that produces fruit turned into tasty jam, jelly and wine. Self-made and natural problems are solved by fictional folks such as the barbering Beaukiss brothers, Wes and Ches; Shine Parker, their shoe-shine man; and a three-legged dog named John Bell Hood, who solves a criminal case.
