'The farce deals with the guest, who having been invited to stay, outlives his welcome, but his hide is so hard that he cannot accept the hint that he is no longer wanted in the home of his friends, who resort to every possible means to shift him, but without success. He declines to quit, believing that he is indispensable.'
