Synopsis

A fleeing murderer takes refuge in a house inhabited by two elderly ladies, who offer to shelter him from the police if he will consent to marry their younger sister, Lucy, who seems to reside just offstage in a little room beyond a locked door.

Questions develop which cause the murderer to grow uneasy.

Are the ladies insane?

Is there really a Lucy?

Why didn't her first wedding take place?

The murderer discovers the answers when the door is finally unlocked, and he has to choose between a wedding and the waiting police outside.
