This rambunctious musical comedy is based on the 1973 closing of one of Texas’ most famous pleasure palaces known euphemistically as “Edna’s Ranch Boarding House,” also known for generations as the fabled Chicken Ranch of La Grange, Texas. The brothel is under the proprietorship of Miss Mona Stangley. While taking care of her girls, she is also on good terms with the local sheriff, Ed Earl Dodd. When crusading television reporter Melvin P. Thorpe decides to make the illegal activity an issue, political ramifications cause the place to be closed down. Memorable songs include "Hard Candy Christmas", "Twenty-Four Hours of Lovin", and "A Bus From Amarillo".
