Gathering together twenty-four of his hysterical stories about camping, hunting, woodwork, and fishing, The Good Samaritan Strikes Again features not only McManus's follies with Mother Nature, but those with human nature as he recalls his first kiss, his public relations career, his less than helpful attempt to be a good Samaritan to an injured motorist, and much more.
Including such classic stories as "The Worry Box" and "Ah, Sweet Poverty!"
