Two worthy widows have a coal mine that has been left to them, and upon which their livelihood depends. One widow has a lovely daughter who is engaged to the other widow’s son. A villainous banker, who holds the mortgage on the mine, intends to foreclose on it. The engaged couple seek employment away from home, she as a schoolteacher, and he as a sailor. Unfortunately, he is lost at sea and is soon given up as missing. Meanwhile, the villainous banker, seeking to not only get the mine (in which silver has been discovered) into his hands, but the heroine as well! He is so adept at spinning wicked webs that he is on the brink of success for his evil plan- but, just in time to save the widows and their children, amazing events take place which bring success and happiness to all who so richly deserve them.
This is a family friendly show that encourages audience participation- a good, old fashioned melodrama!
