Scoring Bertram Wiggly

When Bertram Wiggly retires as an appliance actuary - calculating the life expectancy of electric stoves and iceboxes so their warranties expire precisely one day before they implode - he thinks he's found the perfect place to retire in Medville, with its idyllic weather, friendly citizens, and charming town with cobbled streets. But then, the town decides to rezone itself -- for musicals. At any moment the an unseen orchestra is apt to strike up a tune and the townsfolk are likely to break into song. And not just song either - dance. Against his will, Bertram finds himself cast as the comic curmudgeon in a musical comedy where he is doomed to be outdone by his rival, Jim Hansom. Can Bertram outwit the machinations of Sam, the mysterious conductor and get the girl?
