All Theodurus Melville ever wanted was a woman to call his own, but he's always managed to find himself cursed with someone else's woman. Unfortunately you can't spend a whole lifetime loving and chasing "Jezebels" and expect to escape unscathed. When Gabe Parks, the husband of his latest lover, Samantha, finds out that Samantha's in love with Theo, Gabe decides to kill him. Glad that the travesty of his life can finally end, Theo waits for Gabe to show up with his handgun and reminisces about all the "Jezebels" that have floated in and out of his life.
