Scene 11
(We find Arthur in his bed the next morning, he gets up and goes down stairs where he finds two Police Officers in his living room)
Jessie:Oh Arthur, your up
Arthur:Yeah, w-what’s going on?
Officer 1:Look son, last night there was a robbery and several unanimous tips all point to you as being the one behind it
Arthur:That’s not true!
Officer 2: We’re afraid you’re going to have to come with us
Arthur: This is ridiculous, dad do something!
Major:Look, I know for a fact my boy is innocent
Officer 2:Sir, back away or we’ll have to take you in too
Major:I fought in World War II for this country and by god I demand some respect
Officer 1:Just back away sir and things will be fine, you can call your lawyer right now. Until then your son is a criminal under out custody
(Officer 1 puts handcuffs on Arthur and they take him away in a police cruiser as his neighbors watch on in disappointment)
(Meanwhile over at Janet’s house we find Janet walking out of the bathroom. She sits down at the table)
Janet:Oh gosh, I’m not feeling good
Norma:Why did you get in so late?
Janet:Nothing we just had some fun
Norma:Well, Lillian called and she wants to know what happened
Janet:Why?
Norma:Because Arthur is in jail
Janet:What? What happened?
Norma:They didn’t tell me, they just said they wanted to talk to you
Janet:Somethings up, come on lets go!
(We cut to the Jail cell where we find Arthur in the cell. There he finds 3 people)
Person 1:Well who is this new guy
Arthur:Arthur Bartley
Person 2:What are you in for?
Arthur:Robbery
Person 3:Dang kid
Arthur:Who are you guys?
Person 1:Stanley
Person 2:Kurt
Person 3:Tim
Stanley:We’re all in a band, Stanley and the Staples
Arthur:Oh
Kurt:We're looking into a plan for tonight. The prison is having a concert tonight and thats where we are going to make our escape. Can you sing?
Arthur:Well I don't know I've never really tried before
Kurt:Well its not that important of a gig so I guess you can sing but you gotta rally the crowd long enough to spark the riot then we leave and get out of here. I got a friend in England who knows a few things about music and we can be huge.
Arthur:I guess I'll do it
Stanley:Thats the spirit, I'll be on guitar, Kurt on drums, and Tim on bass. We'll be the final act tonight
Arthur:Alright
(We cut away from prison to find Janet running to Arthur's house. She knocks on the door and Jessie answers)Jessie:Hello?
Janet:Mrs.Bartley, where is Arthur
Jessie:He was arrested this morning for robbery
Janet:Mrs.Bartley, I was there last night and he did not commit the crime. It was those boys, Roach, Bobby Blue, Tommy, Johnny, and Ernie
Jessie:We got to get to the police I hope its not too late

Scene 12
(Its night time in the jail)Warden:Welcome everybody to the 75th Annual Petapenpe Prison Prom...say that 75 times. Our first act is Soul Sammy and Six Singers
(7 musicians get on stage and begin to perform meanwhile we find Arthur talking with Stanley backstage)Stanley:Alright Artie, know any songs
Arthur:Not really
Kurt:Don't feel bad we got one for you
(They show him a piece of paper)
Kurt:Just read the lyrics come in around 20 seconds into the guitar riff and read off the words
Warden:Next up in the Petapenpe Prison Prom is Stanley and the Staples with lead singer Arthur Bartley
Kurt:Here we go, kid
(Kurt, Tim, Stanley, and Arthur get on stage)
Stanley:Our first song is bound to be a riot and a half. Its Johnny B. Goode from the coolest cat this side of Connecticut, Chuck Berry
(Guitar riff)
Arthur(singing):
Deep down in Louisiana close to New OrleansWay back up on the woods among the evergreensThere stood an old cabin made of earth and woodWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B GoodeWho'd never ever learned to read or write so wellBut he could play a guitar just like a ringin' a bell
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!
He used to carry his guitar in a gurny sackGo sit beneath the tree by the railroad trackOld engineers in the train would see him him sittin' in the shadeStrummin' with the rhythm that the drivers madeThe people passed him by they would stop and sayOh my but that little country boy could play
Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Go! Johnny!Go! Go! Johnny B. Goode!
(Guitar Solo)(As Guitar Solo begins, Kurt kicks over the amplifier, and the band begins to smash their instruments at that moment a full on prison riot begins. Prisoners begin fighting off the guards. As the guards and prisoners fight, Arthur, Kurt, Tim, and Stanley escape through a back door at the prison and flee into the streets)
(Meanwhile at the Police Station we find Janet, Jessie, Lillian, Norma, and Major talking to the Sheriff)
Janet:Look officer I was with him last night and he did nothing wrong if anything Arthur is a victim of a heinous crime by a few boys
Sheriff:Well young lady can you describe these young boys?
Janet:Theres Roach, he was kicked out of school for destroying the Principal's car, he has black hair and wears a leather jacket, then Bobby Blue he's really big then Johnny and Tommy along with Ernie.
Sheriff:Well we can see if we can find them but til them I'm afraid Arthur Bartley is the prime suspect as we were told earlier by an anymonous tip by telephone
(A News bulletin pops up on TV)
