Synopsis
A zany tale of a warmhearted girl who mistakes a telephone repairman for a burglar, tries to save him from his life of crime, and ends up having to pretend he's her husband - dismaying her strait-laced sister's evangelist fiancé.
This play had critics and audiences cheering both at the Maryland and the Chicago premiere productions.
