A send up of silent screen westerns, this wacky comedy takes place in a room above the saloon where Clara is packing for her honeymoon.

A stranger interrupts to tell her he has won her in a poker game.

They fight and might fall for each other, but not before they realize they are victims of an inventive scam.

An optional third character can add a silent screen era touch by flipping through title cards complimenting the action.

Published in Cross Country: Seven More One Act Plays .

"The most successful play of the evening...a delightfully oddball comedy...witty situations and tongue-in-cheek dialogue."
