Make way for the Jarrett Players, a talented troupe of Shakespearean actors riding on the LIGHTNING EXPRESS nonstop from New York City to San Francisco to perform Henry V. Coast-to-coast... in only three days!
Unheard of! Spectacular! Never done before! Newspapers love the daring publicity stunt. Railroads too. What a grand way to celebrate the nation's100th anniversary (and make tons of money too)!
The thespians’ stunt soon turns into a non-stop, danger-filled journey that doesn’t end with Henry V but keeps on going into the wilds of Montana with Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill, George Armstrong Custer, and the Battle of Little Big Horn. too.
