About This Book

A three-act farce centers on a kindly physician whose domestic life is disrupted by flirtatious daughters, an overprotective father, admiring servants, and a series of misunderstandings and comic deceptions. Preparations for social events, secret attachments, and a bungled detective-camera stunt produce escalating confusion, mistaken identities, and frantic attempts to conceal or reveal engagements. The plot relies on rapid entrances, verbal banter, physical comedy, and parental interference, resolving through reconciliations and humorous reversals that restore social order while showcasing class differences and romantic folly.
