'It was Mrs. Honoria Flannagan's dog, Patsy, that began it all. The very respectable provest, Thomson, refused to pay the license money and so the animal was in danger of being destroyed. But Thomas Burden, reporter, wrote a story on the business, a story that was destined to shake the political foundations of more than one career. In this play, James Bridie, salty Scots author of 'Tobias and the Angel' and 'The Black Eye', pokes sly fun at the shifting soil on which public careers are built.'
