Synopsis:
“It’s my first case—I’m so excited! I’m Annie Imes, wife of the famous detective Johnny Imes. All those years following Johnny while he solved cases has totally prepared me for this case: “Prove the existence of God.” Now, I know people have been asking if God exists for years… um, decades… okay, pretty much since time began. But the answers have to be out there… somewhere… hmmm… maybe this could be a bit challenging. I think I’ll ask Johnny to tag along….”
Cast:
Annie Imes - 20s to 40s – Comes across as Johnny’s ditsy blonde secretary but is a good detective in her own right. She tends to ramble on and on. Her compassion for others is her most endearing trait.
Johnny Imes - 20s to 50s – A strong, quick-witted private eye who is not afraid to take on any case. It is the middle of the Great Depression and Johnny and Annie, who is also his wife, barely get by.
Lucy - 30s to 50s – Kind of a hard woman. She has had to run the diner by herself for many years now and she is very self-reliant.
Ginger - 20s to 30s – Was once one of mob boss Alvin Santago’s “girls,” but now, with Johnny’s help, she has testified against Alvin and found the peace that only Christ can bring. She is anxious to help others escape the life of crime.
Pastor White - 30s to 60s – An intelligent man who is well respected in the community. He has helped Johnny in many of his cases.
Tony - 20s to 30s – A young thug who is drunk with power and blind obedience to mob boss Alvin Santago. He is not the brightest of men.
Dr. Staininski - 30s to 60s – A very intelligent man which makes him a little eccentric. He is a little socially awkward and likes to laugh at his own jokes.
Professor Overby - 40s to 60s – A quiet, scholarly professor who has a love for knowledge . (S)He is an old friend of both Pastor White and Dr. Staininski.
