| Music | Suggestions for thirteen songs are included in the Producer's copy of the script. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script. |
| Style | British pantomime (jokes, far-fetched plot, outrageous characters, cross dressing, magical creatures, that sort of thing), but set in the Wild West. |
| Synopsis | The inhabitants of Big Gulp are desperate for the Railroad to come through their town and put it on the map, but the Indian Chief wants the land protected to save the legendary Big Gulp Bunny, whose access to the Feeding Grounds would be disrupted by the train line. The scheming Frankston Frugal of the Railroad company arrives with his legal documents and gets everyone to sign, but are they giving away more than they know? Calamity's beautiful sister knows the truth and must enlist the help of the Sheriff, the Chief, Calamity and the BGB himself to defeat the villain. |
