The Puppeteer and his two sock puppet friends, Calvin and Sir Flops-A-Lot, have teamed up to put on a family friendly play to educated children on the dangers of falling for a check scam. Except Sir Flops-A-Lot doesn't know his lines. And the puppets aren't getting paid. And the puppeteer might have turned their box shelter into this stage. Whatever happens, this is not going to be a show appropriate for children.
