The Steel Pan Man of Harlem

The city of Harlem is overrun by rats. One day, a mysterious man appears with a steel pan drum, promising to rid the city of its problem...for a price. The mayor has no choice but to agree.

The steel pan man plays the sweetest melody anyone has ever heard and dances the rats out of the city. But when the mayor refuses to keep his word, the steel pan man has no choice. He plays the mayor another tune for another purpose.

This retelling of The Pied Piper of Hamelin is set during the Harlem Renaissance.
