The play is a three-act satire dealing with the adventures of Diana Breed Latimer, a best-selling novelist, who visits a women's college in New England to research her next book, an exposé of the romantic lives of young women on campus.

[1] The play has never been produced or published, and is currently collected with other Perelman and West papers at Brown University, which they both attended.

In 1936 West sent Perelman a letter repeating an earlier suggestion to try to find an agent for the play.

[2] He suggested that if Perelman thought it would damage their reputations, they could use a pseudonym, perhaps "Diana Breed Latimer", the play's protagonist.

After West's death in 1940 Perelman revised the play, but no one was interested in producing it.
