Synopsis:
This year’s titillating tale begins in the Last Chance Calamity Mine, where the vicious villain, Dirk Degenerate, has tightly trapped our hapless heroine, the tantalizing Truly Sweetenuff. Degenerate, a dangerously debauched desperado, is threatening to blast our beauteous belle to bits when, suddenly, at the last possible moment, just when it seems there is no hope left, our hero, the pricelessly plucky Tallen Handsome, rescues the pulchritudinously passionate Truly and valiantly vanquishes Degenerate, who is inadvertently blown to bits himself…or is he? Our rousing recount resumes 20 years later when Tallen and Truly, contentedly co-joined in matrimony, commiserate over their son, Hardly Handsome. Hardly is a distinct disappointment to his forlorn folks, for he does not fancy himself in the family’s hero business. Instead, the lack-luster lad longs to be a…gasp…POET! The charmingly compelling cast also includes: Ol’ Homer DeRange, a guitar toting “cowboy narrator”; Charity Case, a rough and ready cowgirl; a marvelously mute villainess; and a mysteriously malevolent figure from the past plotting his revenge on the Handsomes. This delightful diversion is packed with a plentitude of laughs that will tickle the funny bone of the entire family.
