This light-hearted work centers around the humorous trials and tribulations of romantic proposals and the misunderstandings that ensue. The play features typical themes of love and social interaction, casting light on the awkwardness often found in courtship. The storyline unfolds in a fashionable New York drawing-room, where two suitors, Robert Yardsley and Jack Barlow, compete for the affection of Dorothy Andrews. As Yardsley prepares to propose, he inadvertently ends up making an embarrassing proposal to the housemaid, Jennie, who misunderstands his intentions. This mix-up leads to a series of comedic exchanges and the threat of retribution from Jack Barlow who is also in pursuit of Dorothy. The play pieces together themes of mistaken identities and comedic timing, eventually culminating in the resolution of the romantic entanglements with humor and charm as Yardsley finally proposes to Dorothy and receives her affirmation despite the chaos.
