Synopsis

In an insane asylum, we find a number of lady schoolteachers who have lost their mental balance trying to educate their pupils!

This play starts hilariously when the ladies talk and act like their former charges.

A love story is introduced with the visit of the niece of the superintendent and a young staff doctor, but each thinks the other is an inmate.

The niece thinks she would like to be a teacher, but after witnessing the antics of schoolteachers she decides to marry the young doctor.

Recommended for churches, schools, community groups, and teachers everywhere!
