Lo and Behold! A New Comedy in Three Acts
"A Nobel Prize winner has lived for years on a meager, unpalatable diet, to favor an ailing heart. This lack of much heart has made the philosophy of his books coldly cynical. After signing a will that leaves a third of his estate to his young doctor, a third to perpetuate his house as a sanctuary for his spirit and the final third to the Harvard Law School to insure that the terms of his odd testament will be carried out, he eats a sumptuous meal and dies happily. Instead of the solitude he expected as a ghost, he is beset by the spirits of Minnetonka (an Indian girl pushed off a cliff by her lover), a Southern belle with a disturbing drawl and a phony liberal attitude, and a frustrated composer. Then the pretty cook who prepared the fatal dishes returns to the house and is mistaken for his illegitimate daughter. He eventually finds peace by furthering a romance between the doctor and the young girl. "--Publisher.
