First in a series of melodrammer-operettas, followed by "The Oil Can Mystery" and "Fanny in the Lion's Den", built around Fanny Zilch: the banker's daughter. She was born when Fanny was a girl's name. The slightly-burnt toast of the town; Oil Can Harry: a deep-dyed villain but his colors run. So tough he uses spinach as a boutonnaire. Relentlessly he pursues Fanny for her beauty, wealth and streamline effect; Strongheart: a hero with a steely glint in his eye and a blush on his cheeks. They done him wrong who called him pansy and thought he couldn't shoot from the hip; Napoleon, Strongheart's Steed: a fiery charger once free from the milk route. He needs neither whip nor spur when he hears the cry of beauty in distress.
