Peril at Pumpernickle Pass
or... To Heir Is Human Author(s):
Tim Kelly
Waldo Weasel, that cobra in human form, shows up in Pumpernickle Pass with a phony gold map. He talks lovely Buttercup O'Shay into staking him. (Buttercup runs the General Store and Lending Library.) Alas, the gold strike doesn't pan out, but no matter! Waldo discovers Buttercup has a paper proving that her ancestor, the first governor of California, lent the new state a small fortune. The sum is so great it can't be paid back, so the heir will own California! Waldo realizes Buttercup will refuse his oily offer of marriage so he plots to get rid of her and marry the next heir in line, Stella Dimdome. By the time the villain is defeated, all manner of hilarity has broken out. "This slap-happy horse opera gives free rein to the comedic acting skills of a high school performing group."
