Pumpernickle Pass - June 15

Waldo Weasel, that cobra in human form, shows up in Pumpernickle Pass with a phony gold map. He talks lovely Buttercup O’Shay into staking him. Alas, the gold strike doesn’t pan out. But no matter! Waldo discovers Buttercup has a paper proving that her ancestor, the first governor of California, lent the new state a small fortune. The sum is so great that it can’t be paid back, so the heir will own California!  Since Buttercup will refuse his oily offer of marriage, Waldo plots to get rid of her and marry the next heir in line, Stella Dimdome. By the time the villain is defeated, all manner of hilarity has broken out!
