DON WANNABE

Don “Big Jim” Ravioli’s Chief Lieutenant. When he met his wife, Madam MeMe, it was love at first sight. They own a chain of houses of ill repute.

CAPO “TOTO” TEQUILA

The self-proclaimed Boss of Bosses. He will be visiting us from Dallas. Speculation is running rampant on why he is coming here tonight. When it involves the Capo, it just has to be something big.

DON “BIG JIM” RAVIOLI

The well-known father of the Iowa Park mob or the “Family””. The Don just recently divorced Vicky, his wife of twenty years, to marry the much younger Carrie Crooner. They have only been married for a week.

CARRIE CROONER-RAVIOLI

A jazz singer in one of Big Jim’s clubs when he fell in love with her. He divorced his wife Vickie to marry her. She is attending tonight to do a special performance. People speculate that she only married Big Jim so that she could use his connections to be discovered as the star she is.

VICKY RAVIOLI

The ex-wife of Don “Big Jim” Ravioli. While she is older than he is, she was still surprised when he demanded a divorce to marry that tart, Carrie Crooner. When the divorce came through on March 20th, Vicky was overheard saying, “I raised my husband from a boy to a man for another woman”. She received a $50,000 settlement from the divorce.

REBECCA RAVIOLI

The daughter of Big Jim and Vicky Ravioli. Rebecca has been telling everyone that she is engaged to marry Rhett Bumbler. Her father refuses to allow the marriage.

RHETT BUMBLER

A gambler who blew into town six months ago. No one knows much about him, except that he is not very good at cards or dice. His attempts to cheat are so laughable that most people tend to overlook it. What could Rebecca see in him? Big Jim would never tolerate this buffoon as a son-in-law.

BARONESS RAVIOLI

The mother of Don “Big Jim” Ravioli. Of course, she is not a real Baroness, but being the Don’s mother does tend to keep people from saying any different. The Baroness loves to wear tiaras and lord it over anyone she considers ‘beneath’ her, which happens to be most people.

INSPECTOR NEVILLE “THE NOSE” NUTELLA

Some speculate that she has always been jealous of the attention Big Jim lathered on his daughter, and this is her way of getting back at her.

AL CAPONE

Brought from Dallas by Don Wannabe to work in his club. While his job title is bouncer, everyone knows that he is really just a hit man for the Family.

U.S. CONGRESSMAN DARRIN TOOSTEAL

Some say Darrin’s rise to fame was a result of his close friendship with Don Big Jim Ravioli. He could very possibly become the next President of the United States. You have to wonder how he could hope to become the next president when it is well known that he has such a close affiliation with a man of Big Jim’s reputation.

SLY SLEAZE

Runs the horse race ring for Don Big Jim Ravioli. He made an agreement with the new Telegraph Company to be the only person able to receive the live horse race results immediately in the Iowa Park area. He then sells these results to local bookies for half of their take. In exchange for all his work, the Don gives him 5% of the earnings. Some say he is not happy with this percentage and feels that he deserves a full partnership in the venture. He and Rebecca Ravioli have been good friends for years.

VANESSA CROONER

The mother of Carrie, “Big Jim” Ravioli’s new wife. She chaperoned Carrie and Big Jim everywhere they went before the marriage. She does not approve of Big Jim. After they were married, she moved into the new house with them just to make sure that Big Jim treats her baby right.

MARY TOOSTEAL

GLENNA GLIB

Was voted “Most Talkative Person” every year in college. I don’t’ think any more than that needs to be said. If you have further questions, Glenna will be happy to regale you for hours with the answers. Glenna is the new cocktail waitress at The Four Deuces.

TOM HOPS

The suave, talented and friendly Four Deuces bartender.
