Synopsis
Here's another lampoon from the author The Face on the Barroom Floor and Dark Deeds at Swan's Place .
Jubilee marries Little Billy Tapshoes so her father tosses her out and turns her picture to the wall.
One year later, she returns a widow with a baby.
Nasty Rudolph von Doberman schemes to take over her family's hotel.
He knows the army will soon build a fort nearby and he intends to open a nefarious saloon with some unscrupulous (and hilarious) cohorts.
Only Fred, the stableboy, can save Jubilee.
Characters, from a tough lady sheriff to a social secretary with a diamond in her tooth, are a wild slap stick bunch.
The spoof is stuffed with jokes, sight gags, puns, vaudeville routines (some rib ticklers, some groaners), and even a Ninja nunchaka routine, and it is easy to rehearse, stage and produce.
