| Synopsis: | In THE E.Z. SNOOZ MOTEL, the action moves to Throckmorton's leading hostelry, a rundown motel which the townspeople use largely for immoral purposes. On this particular night the customers include a swaggering macho type who turns out to be a pushover when the hitherto meek desk clerk (in defending a lady's honor) flattens him with one punch; a would-be singer who seems to actually believe the lies put forth by a toupeed little man who claims to be Conway Twitty's road manager; and the wife of the man who escaped on a trailer truck in the first play. Again the action is fast and funny and studded with telling observations-but, as before, there is also true wit and wisdom to leaven the fun. | |||||

| Synopsis: | In the first play, THE WHIZ BANG CAFE, the setting is a truck stop in Throckmorton, Texas, a dusty little town on the edge of nowhere. Mary Nita, the long-suffering owner-cook-waitress has become resigned to the oddball regulars who frequent her cafe, including a house painter turned evangelist and a dozing truck driver, but she perks up at the arrival of Walter and Ann Simmons, an out-of-town couple heading west on vacation. Small towns being what they are, there are no secrets for long, including Walter's long cherished desire to hit the road in a two-ton semi-a lifelong wish which is, at last gratified in a most unusual and hilarious manner.
