The ‘Seaquel’ to The Wise Mullet of Cook Bayou finds Ol’ Middler embarking on a heroic journey to rescue the Wise Mullet Goldie from a terrible hurricane. Goldie is heartbroken, because he has lost his mullet sweetheart Silver in the storm. After their suspenseful escape from flooded New Orleans, Goldie is inspired by the resiliency of the Gulf Coast and decides: “If people could rebuild, then surely a mullet could too.” The two mullet buddies return safely to Cook Bayou, and Goldie concludes that “nothing is more wondrous than an ever loyal friend.”
