Salmon

Something has gone terribly wrong at Harold's salmon farm, though nobody can say exactly what. His wife frets, Mavis heads off to round up the boys, and a visiting friend lectures everyone on salmon varieties. Then a cowboy-hatted captain who deals in trout arrives, mocking the farm's troubles, pushing trout sticks and offering to buy the place before giving Harold a day to get his unruly salmon under control. Doubts turn to suspicion when someone in Harold's own camp starts arguing that trout makes a lot of sense, and the melodrama builds to accusations, a dying man naming the culprit and a final freeze on the stunned family. The cast plays it as a full-tilt daytime-drama parody, with stabbing music stings and the word salmon repeated until it becomes absurd.
