Synopsis
Introduced by ol' Charley, a cowboy philosopher, we are guided through the story of Jeremiah Drooge, a skinflint and sly attorney who employees poor Bob Sackett. Bob can barely afford to feed his family. Little Lisa Sackett is injured in a horse accident and needs care that Bob cannot afford.
Drooge is visited by four spirits, the first his old dead partner, Ben Bagley, who informs Jeremiah that he has only one way to escape eternal punishment for their greed and uncaring ways to mankind. The spirits of the past, present and future attempt to reclaim Drooge's soul and allow him to change his ways.
Along the way we encounter Fred, Drooge's nephew and his wife, the full Sacket Family, cowboys and thieves, and Teddy Roosevelt!
See if Drooge can be saved from his selfish and uncaring ways!
This production is family fun with no profanity.
