The play takes place in the Leffingwell�������s home, where a group of characters gather for a dinner party. The guests include a doctor, a lawyer, a politician, and a young couple. As the night progresses, chaos ensues as the guests try to get their hands on Mrs. Leffingwell�������s boots. The play is filled with witty dialogue, physical comedy, and absurd situations.
