Nellie and Naomi Nice are in search of their father who has disappeared. He must be found before midnight so they can claim their family inheritance from poor, departed Aunt Hester’s estate. But, if they fail, the entire estate goes to the Bilious Brewery. Little do they realize that their father’s downfall has been caused by their false friend and family lawyer, Alfred Avarice, who secretly owns the Bilious Brewery. In addition to their other problems, Nellie Nice must care for her sister, Naomi, who has been struck blind by grief at the loss of her father. The search for their father leads them to the Tippler Athletic Emporium, a saloon, which is invaded by the Temperance Ladies during their quest. With the aid of Peter Princely, they find their father and manage to sign the papers before midnight. The villain is foiled, Peter and Nellie fall in love and Naomi miraculously regains her sight and joins the Temperance Ladies. The play includes several optional songs with lots of opportunity for ’extras’ to in the fun.
