Rising transportation costs drive Santa and the
elves to establish a Chicago workshop. But trouble (and laughs) arrive
when
the Godfather and his Mafiosa henchmen move in demanding a 25% cut as
part of a protection racket. Worse yet, the police are on the
take
and the mayor is accepting kickbacks. Santa soon learns that protest is
useless. "What's a matter? Did I make an offer you got
confused?"
snears the Godfather. "Show him some muscle boys." Salvation
arrives
in the unlikely form of the purse-wielding Mafiosa Mamas who decide to
straighten out the boys. We're the Mafiosa Mamas,
We raised our children good, They follow Papa's footsteps, Every one a hood. The boys are nasty criminals, We're proud of who they are, But when they cheat old Santa Claus, The boys have gone too far! |

Santa is in trouble after broken harness and runaway reindeer leave him stranded in the middle of California. He wishes for nice people to come along and help, but what he gets is a motorcycle gang who would rather rob and beat him up than help. Quick thinking on Santa's part puts thing into perspective for the gang members, who end up hitching their bikes to the sleigh. Motorcycles can't fly, but as Santa says, "At Christmas time, anything is possible." It's bad news for the horrified bikers as the Spirit of Christmas begins to turn them into nice guys! |

It's Christmas Eve, and Black Bart and the
notorious Owlhoot Gang move in on the lovely Miss Kitty and her granny
at their
tumble-down ranch. With Granny tied up, Bart gets set to marry
Kitty
against her will. When Santa learns of the ladies' plight he
disguises
himself as Texas Red, the most dangerous gunfighter in the west.
All goes well as he terrifies the gang and takes over. But Bart
realizes he has seen this so-called Texas Red somewhere before. "I
seem to remember a feller like you stealin' milk and cookies
from my house when I was a little shaver..... You done gave
yourself
away when you come down that chimney. I suddenly realized there's
only one man alive enters a house that way. Santa Claus!"
Things look grim for Santa and the ladies until Kitty turns on the
charm
and turns the owlhoots against one another. All is well, but
wouldn't
it be nice, Kitty sighs, if there really were someone for her
to marry -- someone kind and good and handsome? Enter
the
sheriff, delivered to the site courtesy of Santa's reindeer. "Great
gallopin' cow ponies! That was the wildest stage coach ride this
old
boy ever had. If I didn't know better, I coulda swore them horses
was flyin'!" Things have a way of working out for the best,
and
everyone ends up happy — everyone except the owlhoots who face a future
behind
bars and without Miss Kitty. "We have a hunch at the end of
this tale,/ She'll be seein' that sheriff through a wedding veil.
Rats!" |
| This play is a sequel to Santa and the Owlhoot Gang. However, it is also designed to stand alone. |
The Owlhoot Gang is back! Kitty and the
Sheriff are about to leave the ranch for their Christmas Eve wedding,
but the Owlhoots have the place surrounded. As Santa arrives, the
Owlhoots open fire, and he barely makes it down the chimney.
However, the Owlhoots get
the idea and soon are yeeha-ing down the chimney and tumbling into the
room.
Black Bart tells his favourite story (called The Three Little
Owlhoots)
and announces his intention to marry Kitty and let the rest of the gang
get
hitched to the bridesmaids. It'll be "one great big weddin'
for
all of us!". Bart: So, little Kitty, little Kitty, open up your heart and let me in, let me in. Kitty: Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin! Bart: Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blowww... you a kiss.) Owlhoot: Say, Bart, Kitty ain't really got a gairy chin, does she? Santa is there to help, the sheriff vows to fight the gang with his dying breath ("Har, har. Must be pretty stinky if he's gonna fight us with it."), but Miss Kitty saves the day by tricking the Owlhoots into getting themselves tied up and out of the picture. We got took in by Kitty's ruse,
And now we're singin' the weddin' bell blues. |

Santa gets more than he bargains for when the
chimney he chooses lands him Smack Down in the middle of the
Christmas Eve Wrestle Maniac Extravaganza. It's a tag team mega
match, and everyone thinks Santa is The Pretender, a wrestler known for
his impersonations.
The fun and the action heat up as Santa is forced to help Brat
the
Hurtman ("Oww, I'm hurt, man!") Smart and his brother the
Hatman
defeat the Germinator, the Honker Bonker and Mr. Screwie Kung Fooie. In
spite of the bad guys' dirty tactics ("Hey, they're tying up the
referee!" cry the announcers), Santa must survive to make
his mark
as a wrestler. And then there is the gaggle of singing and chanting
protesters: Down with wrestling,
Perhaps Santa, and the audience, will agree with the protestors
recurring message.Stop it short; It's unwholesome as a sport! |

Christmas in the Middle East finds dictator Saddy the Pain and his bumbling soldiers intent on blasting America with the ultimate weapon -- the Super Cannon. Things get dangerous for Santa when he is mistaken for an enemy aircraft and knocked out of the sky. When Santa admits delivering presents to America, Saddy orders him tied to the super cannon. "Wow, this is a nasty guy," Santa mutters as they drag him off. Fortunately, a trick enables Santa to get Saddy in front of the cannon for a blast of Christmas Spirit powder that changes Saddy's outlook. "You mean I'm going to love my fellow man?" Saddy cries in dismay. "I'd rather have been killed." But he can't stop it, and before long, he and his soldiers are helping Santa by shooting him up to the sleigh again from the Super Cannon. As Santa flies away, a confused Saddy shouts, "Don't forget to do America next! Eiii yi yi! I'm losing my mind!" |
