About the show
Get ready for the freshest old-fashioned mellerdramer this side of the Mississippi! Although Colonel Sanders has the best cattle herd you've heard of, he needs a good return at the upcoming auction to keep his ranch! Rumor has it there's a treasure hidden on his property. Enter Rod Enreel, the snake salesman with a plot (or two ... or 26?) to thwart the auction and claim the treasure for himself. Colonel Sanders, his daughter Heidi Claire, and our hero Marshall Law will need to step in and save the day! With an uproarious set of characters, including a female pirate queen, grizzled old prospector, German doctor, and former gambling addict, come help the newspaper reporter Scoop O'Mally get the all facts straight!
