The Case of the Missing Cat

Hank makes a foolish bet with his archenemy, Pete the barncat, that he can catch the lumberpile bunny. He loses the wager, his job, his pride, and even his gunny sack bed under the gas tanks. Hank begins to plot revenge. He must dispose of the cat. That sounds simple. But Hank discovers that scrap time has lost all its joy and meaning when there is no cat to fight with.Two songs capture the mood: “I must dispose of the cat” and “Prairie vespers.”
