Mayor Cornish is fighting Slippery Jack who is fighting the Fenians! It is June 1867 in London Ontario and no one notices that they are about to become a new country. Did we mention it also a hilarious musical comedy!

It’s the last three days of June 1867, the days right before Canada officially becomes a country. But everyone in London Ontario is too busy to notice the start of their new nation. The recently defeated, short tempered, Mayor Frank Cornish is ready to start a fight with anyone who crosses his path. Everyone is on the lookout for the notorious window peeper Slippery Jack. The Fenians are planning a surprise attack. The new Mayor Frank Smith is more concerned with vegetable produce than politics. And Tully and Belinda just want to be in love!
