Abby and her stepbrother Doc have a problem: history's most famous president, Abraham Lincoln, has gone on strike. He's sick of being portrayed as a boring old log-splitter. So Abe hangs up his stovepipe hat and refuses to fulfill his role in history. Abby and Doc must convince the Great Emancipator to step back into the ring and save the past from being erased. Can they avert a historical crisis and get Honest Abe back on track before it's too late?
