Now an aspiring young architect in suburbia, 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 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 home on the night of his 34^th birthday party.  But, his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence, and less tact.  Rick's continued presence among Willum and his friends leads 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 twist ending of the play.
