Description:

The year is 1830 and the setting is Norfolk County in Upper Canada. Henry Rolston has just been sentenced to hang for stealing an ox. Parson Ryerson and Doctor Rolf decide to petition the Lieutenant Governor for leniency. The problem is they have eight days to collect signatures and make the ride to York and back. When the Doctor hasn't returned with word on the hanging day it looks as if the plan has failed. Rolston is about to be hung when the Parson steps in to pray and pray and pray. He manages to keep the sermon going until the doctor returns with Rolston's reprieve.
