Further details
Father Jack's incredibly hairy hands seem to indicate that he is suffering from a common complaint that afflicts old priests. He is hurriedly sent off to the St. Clabbert's Old Priest's Home for immediate treatment.
However, Jack's replacement - Father Stack - is even more of a nightmare than the great man himself. Faced with this troublesome priest, Ted and Dougal decide to mount an ill-conceived rescue operation to get Jack back.
Desperate times call for desperate measures...
