Freddy tries his hand at becoming a riverboat gambler?
...because the discussion
here reminded you of riverboats?
I'm not sure why Freddy would leave his home town, to be honest. IIRC (which I probably don't), Freddy at the end of FPFP is famous in the town, has married his childhood sweetheart, and everything seems to be going all right. Why would he give that up and become a riverboat gambler (or anything else, for that matter)?
He
could be the town's sheriff, I suppose... but that doesn't lend itself much to adventuring.

Wait a sec... maybe he'd be the sheriff at the start of chapter 1, dealing with various jerks.
By the end of chapter 1, he's figured out who's sending these jerks - and in chapter 2, he has to round up a posse and go after them!
In chapter 3, he follows the clues on to the riverboat (and maybe tries his hand at gambling)... by the end of chapter 3, we find out that the riverboat captain is the big bad - he's been sailing up and down the river, trawling for fellow baddies and sending them after Freddy (why? We don't know). At the end of chapter 3, the big bad has escaped and Freddy captains the riverboat to go after him! (Cue exciting chase music, a la the Indiana Jones Theme!)
In chapter 4, we catch up to Big Bad, who is revealed to be.......... and over to you. (I can't think of a way to unravel this - can you?)
