Pygmalion and Galatea Interrupted by Fire and Flight
The Sheridan Dramatic Club rehearses Pygmalion and Galatea at the Old Soldier's Home when a fire interrupts. Tom Bilbeck faces accusations from John Hemingway, husband of an actress, and a pair of escaped convicts assault the group. A captured thief is tied to a chair as the players hide for the night. Hemmingway arrives, suspicious, while Mrs Hemmingway faints. The sheriff appears and a basement disturbance reveals the horse wrecking the winter stores. Bilbeck schemes with Jim Cooper to arrange Hemmingways' divorce and Bilbeck's marriage to Mrs Hemmingway. Bilbeck and Hemmingway set out on snowshoes, collide on a steep slope, and the story continues.
