The Lemon Drop Kid

Damon Runyan's zaniest Broadway characters come alive with fun...especially the Lemon Drop Kid (Bob, natch!)

The Lemon Drop Kid accidentally cheats gangster Moose Moran out of his track winnings and promises to repay the money by Christmas. To raise the cash, he creates a phony charity for "Apple Annie" Nellie Thursday, an elderly woman with nowhere to live, and convinces his gang to dress as Santa Claus and collect "dough for old dolls" like Nellie.
