About the show:

Showdown at Madam Yahoo's Saloon!

The Wild West is alive again in Boneyard Gulch (Oklahoma Territory), where, at the notorious Madam Yahoo's Saloon, a town meeting is being held this very evening to elect a new mayor.

Not that there's anything wrong with the old mayor. In fact, incumbent Angus Bovine is on the ballot, determined to put opponent, school marm "Miss" Fanny Swatter, in her place once and for all.

But don't worry about any trouble breaking out, because Marshal Law and Deputy Willie Jitters will be there to maintain order. Well, at least they'll be there.

Please come to the meeting. We need all the registered voters (or non-registered, we're just not real fussy in Boneyard Gulch) we can get!! As in all whodunit presentations, guests can test their own crime-solving abilities by piecing together the evidence and unraveling the mystery!
