Synopsis (provided by the Internet Theatre Bookshop):   Curley and Lobo stop by the dance hall for some sarsaparilla served by the loveliest girls in the West. Poor Curley falls in love with the beautiful Miss Lilly only to discover that she’s to marry Sergeant Turwilliger . . . A thoroughly modern western that’s a riot of laughs from sunup to sundown
