The play revolves around Princeton graduate Barry Hollis who inherited a fortune from his father. Already having an ‘old flame’ in Patsie Linden, Hollis meets and falls in love with another woman, Gladys Vance. He persuades his aunt to send a note to Vance requesting a visit while another note is sent to Linden informing her “it’s all over” between them. Somehow these notes are switched leading to hilarious situations and a surprise ending. (Source: Samuelfrench.com).
