Synopsis

This delightful one-act is the saga of the beguiling and sometimes intelligent Violet Loo, preyed upon by the evil and sniveling Snively Lowdown.

Preston Upright (PU to his friends) arrives in time to save sweet Violet Loo, her rapidly aging Auntie Bellum and the family plantation from the wily Snively's wiles.

Unfortunately, he does not arrive in time to save poor Uncle Ben who has been mysteriously strangled with his own shawl!

This is no great loss, since Uncle Ben has been off his rocker ever since the Yankees won the war!

A blast from the past and a surprise ending cap this testament of good and evil.
