This is a wild, spooky and exciting comedy. The story takes place in an editorial office. The journalist Hildy wants to take a break from his job and looks forward to his belated honeymoon. Suddenly the story of a prisoner, who is on the run, falls into his hands. He hides the scoop in the cabinet of his desk in order to keep the story for himself and calls the managing editor. Some gangsters want to have a talk with the escaped prisoner but a boy scout troop, the major and a cleaning lady get in their way – and this is just to mention a few of them. “Gorgeously melodramatic. The funniest and most exciting one of American plays.” N.Y. Times: “Fast, explosive, funny”, ABC TV.
