A
musical mystery horror about the Old West. By Gale Peterson
A
theatrical troupe comes to a very small, desolate, isolated Wyoming town far
from the railroad and civilization. The town, renamed and advertised as
"Metropolitan City" by a devious, scheming Mayor to attract business
and new people. The town is almost completely false fronts with no buildings,
and now the stage coach is discontinuing service.
The
performers, led by Montague Master, have spent their last dime to get to
Metropolitan City. The troupe, in turn, represent themselves a much larger
company with many performers, when in fact they pretend to be many different
people and only number six. Now they are trapped.
The
show must go on, with confusion and a mummy from the Egyptian Drama causing some
terrible frights by mistake. Townspeople fall in love with actors who are not
who they seem as the story unfolds to a joyous climax.
