The cast of characters are settling set for their new situations. They think that nothing much must be happening to upset that world, yet, they are surprisingly wrong.
This tale of innuendo, gossip, lies, misdirection and intrigue comes across authentically like a comedy of errors and misinformation. The idea is easy enough and subtle enough to provide a good base.

She even travels to the neighborhood newspaper when the local police do not act upon her fears. She does catch the attention of the out-of-work detective, the newest editor in the local newspaper and lastly the town itself.
The central character is Henrietta, who was simply named as soon as the town involved, Henryetta, Oklahoma. Henrietta offers quite a bit looking for her currently, she’s got moved to the big city, OKC, OK and landed a career together with the local t.v. station.

Finally, Shatner Lapp, like a newsman, publisher, editor and all-round good old boy, involves town to assist in his Princeton buddy’s newspaper problems.
Once these folks become involved in the gossip laden townsfolk, the misinformation flies. With additional rumors then this facts probably warrant, the 3 missing girls be a little more plus much more objects of speculation and intrigue while little or no factual information is given. The rumors start out mild since the missing girls are just searched by Ma and Maximo.
