About the show: Sirena Scattergood, the greedy daughter of railroad tycoon Tucker D. Fortune, is traveling on her private luxurious railroad car to an undisclosed rendezvous point. She is accompanied by her French parfumier, Cologne DePeu, and her lady’s maid, the innocent Constance Fortune. They are joined by two characters, mountain man Buffalo and the sleazy Roue Runamuk. Scattergood and Runamuk plan to derail the train and capture the gold destined for the settlers of Lost Canyon. But it’s discovered that the gold is missing! Will the Pony Express deliver the message in time? Can the villains’ dastardly plans be derailed? Come "boo!" and "hiss!" at the villains, cheer for the heroes and heroines at the Mantorville Opera House and find out!
