Adapted from Mick Jackson’s The Pierce Sisters, SMOKIES is a tasty tale of two lonely old spinsters making a living by catching and smoking fish.  Unfortunately neither has much luck capturing the hearts of the sailors and fishermen who find themselves washed up on the sisters’ remote shore.  Unable to escape their romantic pursuit, the reluctant suitors come to a rat

her gruesome demise - Smokies is somewhat fishy!
