| Description |
A town; somewhere, nowhere. Fantastical, yet strangely familiar. After twenty years of drought, private toilets have been outlawed and people may only relieve themselves in public facilities - spend a penny to spend a penny. Where there's muck, there's brass, it seems, but when the fees are raised and raised again the poor revolt, led by the lantern-jawed idealist, Bobby Strong. There's an inevitable complication to this story of money and rebellion: Bobby is in love with the ditzy Hope Cladwell, who just happens to be the daughter of the man who owns every convenience n town. |
