style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Indiana</span></st1:state></st1:place><span
style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">, 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 </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span
style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Vietnam</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span
style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
