THE FRIO KID
by Kenneth Robbins
With everything from a barroom brawl to several shootouts and a Western picnic basket auction with accompanying wrestling match, THE FRIO KID gently spoofs what constitutes the myth of our American West. Based on “A High Chaparral Christmas” by O. Henry, THE FRIO KID follows two lifelong friends, as they become sworn enemies, their fallout resulting from a tussle over a lovely schoolmarm.
