The unfinished play was found in papers after the author’s death. The action takes place in the spring of 1937 in the town of Port Tyler on the banks of the Mississippi. Heavenly, a beautiful and liberated girl, loves Dick. But he is an unsettled character, he is more fond of the romance of travel. He calls Havenly to follow him.

The girl is tired of the sanctimonious little Port Tyler with its gossip, gossip, envy, and judgment. But she is afraid to leave the quiet harbor of her homeland.

In Havenly, Arthur, the epitome of decency and practicality, is in love with her. He captivates the girl with his waiting tenderness. But Gerta, an unassuming girl, is in love with Arthur. She understands that she cannot compete with the beautiful Hevenly, and she takes her own life.

Word spreads fast in the small town. Hevenly is no longer such an enviable bride.
