A macabre, neatly written play which covers, in a series of short scenes (with time lapses between) the events following Percy Middleditch's attempts to "find a nice girl," as his landlady advises. Unsuccessful, middle-aged Percy, turned down for promotion at work, writes to a Lonely Hearts column and when the gorgeous Caroline Sweet turns up on his doorstep he is sure his luck has changed. But Percy realises he has been the easy victim of a con trick and there is only one way he knows of expressing hishurt... Fast paced and easily staged there are nevertheless one or two unexpected twists in the plot.
