In the small town of Churubusco, Indiana there exists a legendary creature swimming within the waters.  This enormous snapping turtle which citizens claimed to have seen in 1949 is said to have a shell the size of a dining table and weigh over 500 lbs.  This is the story of one farmer's struggle to capture and prove the existence of the creature and the town that grew to love their reptile mascot.

Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they review the escapades around the media circus that is the Beast of Busco.
