When Joey Leggett throws over Lady McBuff in favor of high-society belle
Lurlene Jackson, Buffalo Gap will never be the same. The town not only
loses its chance at the Texas and Pacific railroad, but ultimately the county
seat and its control over the financial and political fortunes of Taylor
Country. Although a comedy, the events are modeled on the real-life
story of the way a group of 'businessmen' used the promise of a nonexistent
town, Abilene, to first steal the railroad and later the seat of county government. In a dramatic courtroom finale, Judge F. Watt Murray votes to uhpold the outcome of a doubtful election, an event which has catastrophic consequences for the poultry population of West Texas.
McBuff is a full-length three act play--a travesty in thee
acts!
