Misdeeds at Mistletoe Mine

Poor little Holly Hock, an orphaned, has inherited a gold mine with no gold and a hotel with no guests. Her aunt, Rose Bush, has taken both her and the failing business under her wing. When handsome Redmond Wood rides into town, the future suddenly looks promising for Rose and Holly, but the villainous Mayor William Z. Lucifer has other plans. With the help of femme fatale Chiquita Rosarita Ricardo, Mayor Lucifer concocts a plan to drive Red out of town and take custody of Holly, thereby inheriting the hotel and gold mine. Due to the "sanity clause" of the adoption agreement, Lucifer just needs to prove Rose Bush unfit for guardianship, which he attempts to do by drugging Rose’s drink and calling the sheriff in to witness her strange behavior! Tough-as-nails Sheriff Tucson Tessie along with locals of Yule Falls and the Yule Fall Inn will entertain audiences with this highly comical melodrama full of wit, physical humor and a gentle, religious message that goes beyond the ordinary “good triumphs over evil.”
