The play centered around the Mclntyre family which consisted of Professor Mclntyre and Mrs. Mclntyre, George. and Terry. Trying to find a suitable husband for Terry and a suitable profession for George gave Mrs. Mclntyre many troubles. Terry was going to run away and marry Stewart Miller, but she was persuaded by Mrs. Mclntyre to marry Brian Stanley, Mrs. Mclntyre's favorite. While George was at college, he fell in love with Diane Gilmore who gave him up later to go with Pete. ln the end she decided that George was the one for her. Professor Mclntyre - Mrs. Mclntyre ....
