Synopsis
They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God. They're Back. The Most Dangerous Combination Since Nitro and Glycerine. The show that really hits the road.
After the release of Jake Blues from prison, he and brother Elwood go to visit the old home where
they were raised by nuns. They learn the church stopped its support and will sell the place to the
education authority, and the only way to keep the place open is if the $5000 tax on the property is paid
within 11 days. The brothers want to help and decide to put their blues band back together and raise
the the money by staging a big gig. As they set off on their "mission from god" they seem to make more
enemies along the way. Will they manage to come up with the money in time?
