Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Saloon-bar singer Freddie gets very angry whenever boyfriend Blackie seems to be playing around. She always packs a six-shooter, so this is bad news for anything that happens to be in the way. As this is usually the local judge's rear-end, Freddie and friend Conchita are soon hiding out teaching school in the middle of nowhere. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

Winifred Jones:
Do tell. You must show me your gold mine someday. Charles Hingleman: If you don't mind going down in a bucket. Winifred Jones: How is that again? Charles Hingleman: Well, you see, a gold mine having no stairs, you have to be lowered in a bucket. Winifred Jones: Like the girl from Nantucket. Excuse me. Charles Hingleman: How is that? Winifred Jones: Oh, oh... just a poem. See more » |
