*Synopsis:*

Now an aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum Cubbert 
has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a 
fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was 
seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as 
long as he is alive, "you will have somebody on Earth who will do 
anything for you"---so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up 
unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday 
party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a 
hopeless "nerd"---a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little 
intelligence and less tact. And Rick stays on and on, his continued 
presence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious incident 
after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself 
contemplating violence---a dire development which, happily, is staved 
off by the surprising ending of the play.
