<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>The play takes place on the Fourth of July in an early 1900's New England town and chronicles the coming of age of 17 year old Richard Miller who is smitten with his neighbor, Muriel McComber. </span>When Richard sends poems of love to her, quoting the likes of Omar Khayyám and Swinburne, her disapproving father prevents her from ever seeing him again and forces her to write a letter denouncing him. Heartbroken, Richard drowns his sorrow in a local bar, drinking and smoking with a vamp called Belle, and comes home drunk.<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> It is Uncle Sid, </span>who is used to the effects of liquor, who nurses Richard back to sobriety, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">and with the aid of Richard's warmhearted father Nat and the forgiving Muriel everything is put to right.</span></p>
