What happened to the women in Al Capone's life? Where have all the former gangsters gone? The Baroni Assistance & Transfer Service assisted people to die (by bumping them off) and then transferred them to secret graves in a nearby cemetery. But now crime kingpin Angelo Baroni is dead, and his two widows, Gina and Maria, are distressed because the cemetery is about to relocate its corpses, including all of Angelo's family secrets. Complicating the plot are a stage full of free-spirited and slightly batty characters, like Anraj Depaj Anraj (Skippy), the world's wimpiest terrorist; Harold, former hit man and now the family butler; a terribly confused TV reporter; and Victor and Velma, two quirky elevators which are never seen but frequently heard attacking their passengers.

As you watch the play, you wonder: What is evil? What is good? Who wields the power in our world—big business? Organized crime? The media? or could it be—love? This funny, funny comedy for all groups just might have some answers. B.A.T.S. will clear all the bugs out of the stuffiest belfry.
