The Cotton Field Kidnapping!
The Scene ~ The Old SouthThe Location ~ Helta Skelta Delta Plantation, in Pippy, Mississippi Our Victim ~ Massa BigDaddy The date is September 27, 1861...and way down yonder in the land of cotton, it's time for the annual "Cotton Picker's Cotton Pickin Picnic". The plantation is buzzing with excitement as the O'Hoara family tend to the preparations. All is going well until it is discovered that Massa BigDaddy is nowhere to be found! So what happened? It seems that as Massa's favorite slave, Gusbo Tac, came across his "beloved" Massa's favorite straw hat, treasured pipe, and blood stained monogrammed handkerchief, in an empty slave cabin. Sensing foul play, Gusbo ran to the main house to inform the Massa's "devoted" wife, Ima O'Hoara, (or as she is known to the slaves, "Miz Massa") of this alarming discovery. Tell us more! Back at the plantation, a ransom letter is found on the mantel in the great room. It is printed in block letters and reads: "MIZ MASSA, IF YOUIN EVER WANTS TO SEES YOUR MAN AGEEN PUTS $100,000 IN CASH OR GOLD AND GIVES IT TO AUNT MAMMY. SHE BE GETTIN STRUCKSONS. DO IT, OR MASSA, HE BE DEAD! Who wrote this note? Why? Will Massa be released...or is he…be dead? These are the questions that must be answered before the night is over. Now it's time to come join Massa's daughter, Scarface O'Hoara, famous proctologist, Butt Rhetler, M.D., Massa's adopted son, Al. A. Bammy, Aunt Mammy, northern strangers - Phil A. Delphia & Nan Tucket, Moe Lincoln, Maggie Nolia O'Hara, Grits Lee, Lark Tango, Sweet Potato Pie, and Alley Gater to name a few. So, sharpen those southern accents, get out those parasols and straw hats, and get ready to solve the mystery of "The Cotton Field Kidnapping". Close This Window
