A one-act play. The setting is the Assembly Chamber of a state Legislature, where a determined liberal lady legislator presses for passage of a bill requiring druggists to place contraceptive devices in plain view with prices clearly.

The setting is the Assembly Chamber of a state Legislature, where a determined liberal lady legislator presses for passage of a bill requiring druggists to place contraceptive devices in plain view with prices clearly marked. Her shocked colleagues, a motley, self-serving crew of political hacks, react with platitudes and inane counter-proposals, mostly motivated by fear of their constituents’ displeasure. As they bicker hilariously among themselves, deliver fatuous speeches, and play to the visitors' gallery, the playwright fixes them all with a deliciously wicked eye – and out, of the farcical doings, raises some very funny questions about the suitability and purposefulness of our elected representatives.
