The Pecos Pest

Musical Comedy by Frank Oden & Reno Goodale

Musical Comedy. Wild West stereotypes and melodramatic expectations are turned upside-down when not-so notorious cattle rustler and small time cheat, Singlejack Royce, charms the Heroine and prospers while the Hero is nearly hanged as a result of his own naivete.
