Treachery at Cartilage Creek

Did dinosaurs once roam where now stands the little town of Cartilage Creek? That's the question that draws our heroic Johnny On the spot to this Arizona desert hotspot. He takes up residence in the home of Widder Plunkett, the richest woman in town. Love beckons with another boarder, the lovely schoolmarm and Mother Goose enthusiast, Crystal Clear. Alas, the unscrupulous Bogus Rancidview also has his eyes on our heroine. Not only that, but this cad has convinced the Widder she is losing her faculties. Assisted by his partner-in-crime, Virginia Mayonnaise, he fakes a power of attorney and raises water rates so high no rancher can afford to pay. Then Rancidview offers to buy them out at a penny an acre! Will he get away with it? It's a cascade of hilarious melodramatic action!

The Mouse and the Raven

Three clubwomen discover that obituaries, except for dates, are often compiled before a demise when the deceased is a person of considerable note. Assuming they are such, they descend on the local newspaper office and demand to see what's been written about them. Over the objections of the lady editor, they win out after physically storming the file cabinets. What they discover about themselves may not be to their liking but it is hilarious to the audience.
