The War Between The States rages. Mama Aurelia Archibald and her four lovely daughters, now in rags and patches with nothing but their jewelry left, see their home commandeered by Union forces. They must hide their jewels and (gasp!) also Beauregard Burnside, a Confederate soldier caught behind enemy lines. The villainess (yes, villainess!), evil, wicked, mean, nasty, and popular Gardenia Galsworthy is intent on saving her own plantation from ruin by revealing to the Yankees where the Archibalds have hidden their jewels. Goodness triumphs, however, when the war ends that very day, and love blooms without regard to who’s blue and who’s gray. One hour running time. One simple unit set. Six women ages 13-45. Three men ages 18-45. Eldridge Plays & Musicals.
