The Definitive Work of Ward Hayes: Decoding Flapper Fever

The little town of Bird Center boasting of one hotel and theatre, was in a state of uproar. The Rawsbury sisters were expected at-the theatre that week and the five "sheiks" whose wives comprised the board of Censors had great expectations of a good time. The great day at last arrived and the Sisters were duly installed in the hotel (belonging to one of the Board) and the "sheiks" welcomed them with presents. The festivities were just at their height when the Board swoops down to pass on the act. After viewing the act, a meeting was called at the Purity League where it was voted to ban it and ask the Sisters to leave town before they contaminated the citizens. Not having the wherewithal to pay their bill and being threatened with the Sheriff, the Sisters were undecided what to do, when just at the crucial moment a telegram arrives offering than work if they were blondes. They decide to dye their hair and proceed to do so, but while talking among themselves one of the "sheiks" overhears them and thinking they are about to kill themselves has the fire department rushed out which again creates an uproar, during which he is knocked in a state of coma and awakens to find himself in his loving wife's arms.
