Bunco DeSneer (slicker than lard on hot cornbread) is salting the Spenawampum Mine in Gopher Gap with fake minerals. He hopes to snare rich Easterners looking for a good investment. He’s aided in his dirty work by Flora Fourflusher, a phony assayer, and Slats, a stupid stagecoach driver. The other full-time resident is Crazy Nanette, whose only child disappeared years ago when she left it in a nice cool spot... under an ice wagon. When the suckers show up (including a waif, a judge, a newspaperwoman and the man-hungry Ottillie), Bunco wastes no time in fleecing them. But wait! Two unexpected visitors arrive: Rocky Romantic, a mountain man and ’wilderness poet,’ and Verlinda Springblossom, a beauty. She’s inherited the town from a distant relative (the best kind), Piute Pete. Verlinda doesn’t believe in ’robbing the earth,’ so she intends to close down the mine and open a hummingbird sanctuary. Naturally, Bunco will have none of this and the hilarity begins. This is a side-splitting romp that’s overripe with cornball gags and puns, fast riotous action and fun roles.
