    Four Irish immigrant bachelors share a flat in London. One of the characters, the brawn, brings his girl back to the flat and she soon sickens of the domineering male and finds the quiet bookworm more interesting. The play examines the breakdown of the macho male character when he returns from having been beaten up to find the quiet lad has stolen his girl and his bed.
