Synopsis
Lie Cheat and Genuflect
Billy van Zandt & Jane Milmore
Published by Samuel French Inc
4 Male 4 Female
The Buckle brothers, Billy and Tom, are in big trouble: Tom's infallible eye for slow horses has drained away all of Billy's savings and he has borrowed from loan shark Pizza Face Petrillo, who now wants his money back or else!
There's plenty of money in grandfather Buckle's will, but these two black sheep are pretty sure they'll never see any of that
What else to do but dress Billy up as a nun and have him pose as their cousin who is to inherit the entire fortune?
Involve a stuffy young lawyer, a hard drinking, man hungry housekeeper and a trio of beautiful young women, and you have the recipe for a laugh packed farce of twists, turns, puns and pratfalls as Tom strives mightily to compensate for Billy's "habitual" errors
