Synopsis
Claude Berger was a wealthy sugarcane planter and processor. He died as a New Orleans smuggler and pirate boss. Law enforcement followed him one last time to his grave.Lieutenant Jay Edwards and Detective Smith Le Beau and several news reporters were mixed in with everyone else giving the family and friends no peace at the grave. * * * The coffin arrived at the grave after slow, somber music kept playing as the mourning folks following behind the coffin on foot from the street; by a combination of marching or dancing or walking through the city streets toward the cemetery.Claude organized such a funeral for himself sometime earlier at his mansion. He planned for a brass band marching to the cemetery behind the hearse.The music of his slow funeral march was somber dirges and hymns. They play several the slow and somber songs such as “Nearer My God to Thee” and “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” until they arrived at the cemetery.Joe and Timothy were there together at graveside. Then some other family members joined them, and other folks surround the coffin in no pattern.Joe Berger sat there thinking about his late father. He recalled their lunches together near the French Quarter. They made the short walk there from Claude’s office with his entourage in tow.It was kind of humorous to him the people on the street stared at him because they wondered about was, he as ruthless as they thought.He recalled the two brothers occasionally had lunch with their father near the French Quarter. The three of them spent the morning together at his office. Then they dined at a fine restaurant along their Mardi gras route. Now that was over.He felt that he no longer had a need to go to that office. He and his brother will never again drop by that office for the morning before spending time enjoying the city.Then Joe was back in the current time. He heard the somber song music kept playing. Then when it was lowered to the bottom of the grave the music stops. Then a change in ceremony took place. The procession and its members said their final goodbyes.Then the music was more upbeat, a part of the tradition, starting with a few spiritual numbers that were being played in a swinging fashion.They went into popular hot tunes, just as those that appreciated him would expect that he would want. As they marched celebrating his life, there was raucous music and cathartic dancing within the second line.The people that followed the band that were just enjoying the music are known as the second line. They danced, twirling parasols, and handkerchiefs in the air. Then the band played the more upbeat tunes such as tunes like “When the Saints Go Marching In” and “Didn’t He Ramble” and others.Robert Logan was a corrupt FBI agent. He was aware that his cousin and partner, Peter Berger, would go out his way for his father’s favorite Goddaughter, Leila Warden. She wanted to marry Robert. Peter tried to see that without killing him. Robert expected that one day Peter might leave him for dead in the swamp because he refused to marry Leila.
