Synopsis

The Trial of the Arkansas Bear

$9.99

William Glennon from Albert Bigelow Paine

Published by Dramatic Publishing

7 Male 2 Female

Bo, a recent runaway, meets Horatio, a talking, fiddle-playing bear, just after they have raided Farmer Zack's gardens

The local sheriff heeds the call of Farmer Zack and is stunned when he finds Horatio can talk

But his sworn duty to uphold the law compels him to cart Horatio away to jail-and to court

There, everyone is surprised to learn that Horatio is himself a runaway - from a traveling circus owned by the unsavory Jack Olsen

Olsen makes a sudden courtroom appearance to claim his star entertainer, and the bedlam that ensues turns Judge Lee's courtroom into a circus

All ends well, as Judge Lee makes a wise decision that will surprise and delight the audience

Inspired by Albert Bigelow Paine's book The Arkansaw Bear A Tale of Fanciful Adventure
