Elroy the Potato Head Boy
Synopsis
The family have been forced to live on the streets during the Depression, so her parents decide to create a son and heir (Elroy the Third) in order to fool Grandpa so and inherit his wealth. The happy family does not last long.
Events take a turn as Elroy the Third is crowned a hero in the town, despite this being due to Daniella's hard work. The story becomes a murder mystery with a humorous twist; what goes around, comes around, or does it?
