...comedy, in three acts and seven scenes, all of which are devoted to the telling of a not-unusual story. Charley Bemis came to New York from the country and gradually worked his way up to a senior clerkship, a situation whereby he has been enabled to save a little money. Then, with the aid of a clear-sighted young woman, 'his girl', and a tooth-ache-inspired nightmare, he realizes he is not as he thought he was: The city has put its stamp upon him.
