    O. Henry would probably smile at this tribute to his work. Then he'd wonder is James Perry was running a scam. In the meantime, audiences will get a kick out of this twisted tale of back-stabbers, swindlers and dirty, rotten scoundrels. And like the best of these kind of tales, the right person ends up getting taken for all their worth.

    I am not familiar with the O. Henry source material, but this is a fun little short which got me to laugh out loud at the end! Very unexpected ending! Hilarious!

    If yer gonna be dishonest, don't be surprised if others are as well. A classic swindle goes all too well and the inevitable comes due. A truly fun piece to play and as part of a night of comedies. Just don't forget to follow the money...if you can.
