Synopsis: Take three bold, brave Musketeers, toss in a brash pint-sized would-be Musketeer, add a king whos a giant chicken, blend with a thieving, conniving cardinal, and youve got the recipe for a musical melodrama that is goofiness at a gallop. Daily News. Here is Alexandre Dumas greatest swashbuckling novel turned inside out and the result is sheer musical hilarity. Darth Canyon, a country lad, dreams of becoming a Kings Musketeer. In Paris, he joins up with three of the best: Armistice, Pothole and Applesauce. Because Darth Canyon is very short they decide to be known as The 3 ½ Musketeers. Soon Darth Canyon is smitten with one of the Queens handmaidens, the lovely Custard (shes sweet and always running). The Musketeers find themselves smack in the middle of a wild plot concocted by the evil Minister of State, Richelieu, and his number one spy, the devastatingly beautiful (and wicked) Countess De Whimper. | ||||

Synopsis: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini are dear friends although the issue of spiritualism often causes them to argue. Doyle arranges a seance with a famed medium. Houdini plans to expose the medium as a fraud, but he doesn't count on the woman's cleverness. Sparks fly as the two battle with Sir Arthur and a woman reporter on the sidelines. Ultimately, Doyle and Houdini have a stormy scene and the magician finds he must retreat before the medium's skill and intelligence. They make a strange pact: to stay as far away from one another as possible. If Houdini behaves, she won't reveal his secret - he believes Sherlock Holmes is a real person | ||||

Buck Badum owns everything in Old New Mexico--from Hotel Cucaracha to the bank to Sheriff Toady. (His badge is crooked and so is he!) With the help of Conchita, his diabolical accomplice, Buck deceives the townsfolk. That is, until Henry and his Aunt Victoria arrive. They hold the deed to the Tottering Mine Shaft to present to Alice Sweepup, a slave at the hotel. Buck persuades Conchita to pretend to be Alice. But when a fiesta is given, Conchita decides to double-cross Buck. This is the time for Zorro to rescue Alice! Before the fiesta ends, Zorro (uh, Henry) has saved the town. To cap his triumph, love has blossomed between he and Alice. | ||||
