Introduction
A cowboy and his trusty steed stumbles into the city when they are immediately spotted by a rowdy gang of bikers. The bikers can’t work together, arguing any time they can. The cowboy stays calm, encouraging his horse to do the same. After a long chase down the busy streets, the squabbling gang crashes into each other, letting the cowboy get away. The cowboy finally decides to leave for good, and help a lost enemy along the way.
The main idea of the audio drama was to portray a group of rich girl friends. One was a spoilt and rich girl, one was a naive girl, and one was a sophisticated girl. The main character (spoilt rich girl) had a humble and poor boyfriend who didn’t get along with her friends. She also had a poodle that magically talked after choking on her jacket at the end of the story.
