Joe’s guardian angel
With Carole’s law suit, Joe couldn’t afford the zoo’s expenses, and money was dwindling. Jeff Lowe showed up just in time – Joe’s guardian angel – or so he’d thought. Jeff owned his own small zoo in Vegas, and he’d made an immediate impression on Joe with his expensive, exotic cars. Like Joe, Jeff was no stranger to the entertainment business.

He’d convinced Joe to put the park under his name, as a way to keep it alive, as Joe could no longer afford holding it – he could barely afford to pay for food – and Joe agreed to become the parks’ “entertainment director,” instead of its owner.
