Story
BACK IN TOWN
Bad luck had caught up to Jake and Elwood Blues once again. Jake blew his top when the bass player announced that some of their equipment had been stolen overnight. The other musicians, trying to restrain him, actually knocked him out.
Elwood took it more calmly, and declared: "Well at least they didn't get my harmonica!" Since the harmonica in question was in a small, locked case permanently handcuffed to Elwood, stealing it would have been a much more delicate operation.
In another room, the telephone rang. The pianist entered the room and, seeing Jake still unconscious, held out the phone to Elwood. "Hello, is that the fatman? Or his scrawny, brainless brother?".
Elwood immediately recognized the voice of Josh McKenzie, the town sheriff. "Listen to me good, wise guys: You've been warned! I don't want to see you in my town. The last time you were here, it took us three weeks to clean up after you..."
"If you're not on the first train outta here by the time I've hung up, you're gonna regret it! Oh yeah -- one more thing. I wouldn't bother to look for your missing instruments. I gave them to some underprivileged kids to build a fire. I figured they'd put them to better use than you could..."
Elwood, somewhat stunned, hung up and woke Jake to tell him what was going on. "So what are we going to do?" asked Elwood. "Wha'd'ya mean, what are we going to do?" shouted Jake. "We've got a concert to play tonight! We're gonna find our instruments 'cause tonight's gonna be a party! They're going to remember it for the rest of their lives!"
All fired up, Jake and Elwood went to work.
"Where do we start, Jake?"
"I think we'll do a little window shopping."
When they got to the entrance of the department store, Jake saw the poster for that night's concert. It said "THEY'RE BACK." Jake gave a little smile and grabbed a box. "The Blues Brothers are back in town and you'd better be ready!"
