Synopsis
From Samuel French:
Perfect for women's clubs, this comedy solves the perennial problem of what to do when uninvited
guest show up at your vacation home. An author and her secretary are trying to get some work finished
in their Bahamas retreat when two "friends of friends" descend on them. They put on an act that sends
the visitors off to the nearest hotel. Hilarious situations and sparkling dialogue.

Synopsis
From Baker's Plays:
Across the desolate clearing, two soldiers call cautiously, challengingly, back and forth. Mere boys
and sole survivors of their respective companies, Rep and Yankee agree to a desperate bargain: A life
for a loaf of bread! The foes will lay down their guns for the moment, sit down together, break the
stale crust of bread and share it. Afterward, they will again take up their rifles and face each
other across the clearing in a final showdown.
