Fit To Be Tied

The Poor famly is struggling to keep the ROCK (Railroad of Central Kansas) on track and a large job to ship cattle back East will help. But the evil banker, Vil Lain, holds the mortgage on the railroad and he and his sidekick scheme to foreclose on the ROCK. Lain tries to entice Terri Blee Poor, the heroine and by coincidence, a train whistle virtuoso, to become his wife to save her family's railroad, but Terri Blee loves a brakeman on the ROCK, Earnest Lee. When she refuses Lain's advances, she is tied to the tracks. Will Earnest be able to pick up the cattle as well as rescue poor Terri Blee? Can she reach her little whistle in time to blow the right signal to stop the oncoming train and is her whistle indeed music to Earnest's ears? This one-act melodrama features lots of puns, creative banter and maybe even a clue as to how the first Hard ROCK cafe got started.
