THE STORY: Shows a group of sailors ashore in a waterfront dive. The crew have just been paid off. Olson, with savings in his pocket, refuses to drink. He has for years planned to go home, but every time he had money he squandered it. He is induced by a scheming couple to take a soft drink—which is drugged. He is then robbed, put ashore, then to another ship bound on a long voyage.
A fine ironic play.
