In
"The Legend of the Banana Kid" our friend Little Chucky meets a
mysterious cowboy who takes him to a remote Western town that is being harassed
by a seedy group of outlaws. Chucky, pretending to be a local hero, leads an
effort to outsmart the thugs and bring justice back to the town using bananas
as his weapon of choice. Riding on his trusty goat, Chucky encounters all kinds
of wild Western fun. The show uses mouth and rod puppets.
