A stage act features Herbert Smith the bowie knife thrower and his elderly wife. She stands behind a board as he throws knives from 20 feet, escaping harm until the board is full of blades. The opening Nevada show draws a whispered misfire and a child quips about Satan and hair pulling.
Collected vaudeville style lines feature siblings quipping about aging and nerves, a mother asking a violin teacher to educate her son, a sailor conductor encountering a ramshackle ferry, and a teasing couple facing a delayed marriage. The mood is playful and domestic with punchy one liners.
