Recently an hour-long series on USA Network, starring Annette O'Toole.)
Dottie and Brandi Thorson, the window and daughter of Ralph "Papa" Thorson,
the famed bounty hunter, have no choice but to take up the family business when
Ralph is killed by a car bomb outside their home. Faced with a mountain of
bills and no assets, the women set out to do the only thing they know how to do.
Initially they meet with strong resistance among the mostly male denizens of the
bail-bond circuit, until in a remarkable showdown they shoot and capture a
notoriously dangerous felon and bring him to justice. Their business, which
was originally publicized when the duo was shown apprehending a bail-jumper
on the six o'clock evening news, continues in Los Angeles to this day.
