Jim is a proper noun. As with any noun it can be a direct object, indirect object depending on how it is used in a sentence. Whether a noun is an indirect object does not depending on anything do do with the noun itself. The indirect object is indirectly affected by the action of the sentence.

It is the direct object of "Sally kissed Jim."
It is the indirect object of "Sally gave Jim a present."

What are the Direct and Indirect objects in these sentences' Joe owes Jim five bucks' Joe owes Jim' is there something wrong here?

Nothing wrong. "Jim" is the indirect object because he is who the bucks are owed to. The direct object is "bucks" because that is what is owed. However, if I put the direct object in a prepositional phrase (Like "to Jim"), the whole phrase becomes a modifier (of "bucks" in the example) and does not effect the sentence, leaving it without an indirect object. ex: Joe owes five bucks to Jim.
