A fast-paced
comedy set on the western vaudeville stage in
the early days of the 20th century. The

Grumble find themselves in a heap of trouble one
night when all the other acts on the bill
suddenly turn up missing or, for various
reasons, are unable to go on. Winston and
Vidalia rely on their quick wits, instincts, and
years of stage experience to perform all the
acts themselves. The Grumbles sing, they dance,
tell jokes, juggle, do ventriloquism, and even
read minds as they go to heroic lengths to
ensure that the show goes on!
