The work reflects on American life and character, specifically focusing on a sheriff, Jim Radburn, who is woven into a narrative filled with personal conflict, romance, and a hint of drama revolving around an express robbery. The play intricately explores themes of duty, loyalty, and the everyday struggles of the small community in Missouri. The opening of the play sets the stage in a modest home, primarily depicting the family dynamics of the Vernon household, where Mrs. Vernon, Lizbeth, and daughter Kate navigate their daily lives amid the underlying tensions related to Jim Radburn's political aspirations and romantic interests.
