Dance Hall Row written by Dan Falk
In the early days of the Klondike Gold Rush, the rapacious Wanda Gerber’s Saloon starts to fall apart thanks to the unruliness of her employees, the machinations of her rivals, and her own gambling addiction. But Wanda’s fortunes turn around at the arrival of a new dancehall girl—the naive but determined Livvy Simons.
