The
unscrupulous Rip Roquefort makes a bad living cheating at
cards. He lives at the Virginia City Hotel but pays no rent
because the landlady, Jenny Flutterpearl, thinks he’s
in love with her. Jenny doesn’t realize that the
miserable servant she’s hired to wash and scrub is
actually the villain’s wife, Comatose. Things get even
more interesting for Roquefort with the arrival of Auntie Em,
her niece Little Jane Dovetonsil and the crafty Judge Lynch.
Seems the villain’s uncle has left him a fortune —
"if" he marries Little Jane within twenty-four
hours. Little Jane knows nothing of all this. Read more...If
she finds out about the will the money goes to "The
Judge Lynch Foundation for Near-Sighted Albanians."
Roquefort arranges an "accident" for Comatose (it
backfires) and urges a former partner in crime, Bathsheba
Pickles, to sidetrack the local deputy, Merton Manly.
Complications build to a hilarious slow motion finale! Have a
great time as the cast tries to "STOP THAT
VILLAIN!"
