On opening day of bear hunting season in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a game warden is murdered right under Little Donny’s tree stand, and Little Donny has gone missing. Sixty-six-year-old Gertie is forced to use her “unique” investigative techniques to try to find her favorite grandson.
Gertie’s search is hampered by her pin-curled bodyguard Kitty, her man-hungry friend Cora Mae, and Grandma Johnson, who should be busy mushing peas between her new false teeth in the Escanaba Nursing Home. To top it off, the local sheriff—Gertie’s son Blaze—seems more concerned with arresting Gertie for cruising down Highway M35 without a license than finding Little Donny or catching the killer.
