About the show:
"This is a story of love and money,
About a man so rich it's not even funny.
But knowing him, you'd be none the wiser,
For this cranky old fellow is, a Miser.
He will not spend a single cent in town,
Which.. you know, makes economy go.. down.
Not even his children touch his pennies;
Their weddings are booked at the local Denny's.
Unless, a servant can swiftly intervene,
Entrapping the old man in a Pyramid scheme!
This summer come watch! Come! away from your Telly!
You'll see with your eyes and laugh with your belly!"
