Shep assumes the role of Swamp Man, searching for his roots -- and a pickerel "so big you don't dare look it in the eye" -- as he visits the Okefenokee Swamp.
Spanish moss...stately mansions...a mint julep, fine cigar and the rocking chair on the veranda...the best of the Old South comes to life when Shep pays a visit.
Shep -- as the devil -- spends a weekend in New Orleans. You can see him playing chess...slurping oysters...or accompanying the Olympia Brass Marching Band on kazoo.
Shep supervises the assembly of his own Ford Mustang, then takes a lap around Indianapolis Speedway in a 1924 Dusenberg against racing great "Duke" Nalon.
What's Chicago? It's the White Sox; Dave Garroway; the White Sox; Kukla, Fran and Ollie -- and of course, the White Sox. Chicagoan Studs Terkel joins Shep in a celebration of The Windy City.
Shep examines the life of a remittance man living off government stipend on the island of Guam, the island's local legends, its most scenic places, and the importance of family life to its residents.
