Eureka Springs, Arkansas
The Sure Pop Oil Company Scandal
You're invited to a murder!
When: It is summer, 1921
Where: A Victorian Queen Anne Mansion in the "Silk Stocking District" on "The Boulevard" of the resort city of Eureka Springs, Northwest Arkansas.
What: Copius amounts of oil, "black gold" has been unearthed in nearby El Dorado, Arkansas. Newspapers abound with favorable geological reports from the Arkansas Ozarks, specifically the Eureka Springs area. These reports, along with several on-site visits, have prompted Chicago oil tycoon Henry Huttleston to purchase mineral rights for land in Eureka Springs and initiate the sale of shares in a drilling rig planned for the targeted property.
Local townspeople cause shares in the Sure Pop Oil Company Well #1 to fly out the door of the company office. It seems that everyone has purchased a stake in the well about to be drilled.
In order to celebrate the completion of the well, major stakeholders have been invited to a party by Huttleston in thanks for their support and hard earned cash. It seems that "dreams do come true," as the "Sure Pop" well #1 is ready to produce instant liquid riches for all.
Residents and businesses from the local saloonkeeper to the bank president stand to profit handsomely from the discovery and production of this sought-after slick liquid money.
Not everyone is happy with the discovery of oil and the wealth it will bring to Eureka Springs. Some residents fear an explosion of drinking, gambling and womanizing, and the uncontrolled growth of the city.
All is not as it seems, though. Greed, lies and treachery rear their ugly head. Will the "gusher" be a "fizzler"? Will "black gold" make "dark souls", black enough to kill?Who dies and who did it?
Welcome To... The Sure Pop Oil Well Scandal
