“Step right up folks, for the greatest little show west of the Mississippi. It’s a bona fide jim- dandy; absolutely , positively guaranteed to purge melancholy!” Professor Farquar sets entertainment back more than a century, to the days of the old-time “medicine show.” But unlike the snake oil hucksters of the past, Farquar peddles no elixirs. Instead, he freely dispenses copious amounts of laughter, the best medicine of all. Polecat Annie is the good professor’s faithful sidekick. According to legend, she’s a child of the wilderness, who was raised by a family of weasels. When she’s not assisting Farquar in his stage shows, Annie is pulling an antique wagon full of old-time toys and artifacts; attracting an audience of her own.
