Plot

A small radio station is saved from going bankrupt by a backer, who agrees to invest money for television equipment if the owner allows his dancing daughter Annabelle to dance and sing on the screen. Due to her voice, her singing needs to be dubbed by the owner's girlfriend Pat Abbott. Problems arise when the owner starts dating Annabelle.

Cast

gollark: You could probably implement a timeout on the HTTP requests. SPUDNET recently got long polling support, and it drops them if the remote end closes the connection or 30 seconds pass.
gollark: My build process now includes a *surprisingly functional* 7-year-old program seemingly intended for Roblox mods.
gollark: I made some significant speed improvements by cutting out unnecessary SHA256ing and maybe minifying, at least.
gollark: Only if there's a Lua to Urn compiler.
gollark: I don't think it can be usefully parallelized as CC's filesystem stuff isn't event-based.
