Opera at Scuddy Ends in Tragedy and Cash Reward
In Scuddy Kansas a booming town on the D K N line, the Acme Opera company visits after Jack Bates secures a contract promising not to perform in rival Badgerton. A yellow haired man stars in the improvised show to frantic cowboys, but amid applause the feverish child dies. Bates and townsfolk later discover a hidden bundle of money and the performer’s care for the child, revealing a complex mix of pride, rivalry, and sorrow in a frontier community.
