Learning on ScreenShakespeare and the Indians
- Synopsis
- Stage recording of the western musical comedy. A young boy who survives a wagon train massacre is taken in by three rugged mountain men. The boy is the only one who can read, and the only book they have is a collection of plays by Shakespeare - after a time Shakespeare touches the lives of the boy, the Mountain Men and then the Indians. A childless missionary couple offer the boy a dramatic choice as to what his life will be - a choice in which the Mountain Men, the Indians and Shakespeare all have a part.
