The two-act, seven-character play revolves around Willum Cubbert, an aspiring architect in Terre Haute, Ind., who is visited by a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when Rick Steadman shows up unexpectedly at his apartment, but Steadman’s awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion into shambles.
