SYNOPSIS
The play takes place in a Sweet Shoppe in Boston, and also in a nearby park. Penny Candy has come with her baby Ruth to live and work with her aunt Praline Candy, the owner of the sweet shoppe. Her husband Reese died at sea. However, when she meets the local policeman, Ernest Noble her chances for love and happiness are re-kindled. Sidney Swindle is trying to get Praline to sell the store to him so he can build a subway system, but she refuses. He devises an evil scheme to get the store from her by burning it down with her in it. His evil yet dim-witted side kick Ada Sourball devises another plan to kidnap the baby Ruth and hold her for ransom, and drama ensues. The show shall be in the style of a Film Noir, and will employ audience interaction and mass consumptions of delicious candy!
