Sneak Peek
Now Playing at Gaslight Melodrama
A thrilling tale of the old west about two bandits who are terrorizing Kern County. It appears that a mysterious man and woman robber team have been holding up banks in the region, always one step ahead of the law. And speaking of law, crooked sheriff Dastardly Drygulch is no better than the bank robbers since he is involved in every crooked deal in the territory. It's a case of one crook chasing two crooks! Meanwhile preacher Hugh Boring is looking for the robbers and at lovely saloon owner Libby Libation while erstwhile saloon lady Trixie La Rue Jones has her bloodshot eyes on everybody else, while wondering if anybody can bring bank robbers Donny Dynamite and lovely Marie Marie to justice?

"Always charming and fun. They get the entire audience involved. This is sufficiently delightful that we plan a weekend around it, renting a room for the night and exploring Bakersfield the next day."
