Underpaid department-store worker Diana inherits £300 and spends it on a holiday in Switzerland, where she rejects a wealthy suitor and exposes a poorer man's dependence on a rich wife. Later, both she and the man confront homelessness and hardship before renewing their engagement.
In this satirical one-act play, anti-suffragist Horace Cole is visited by female relatives representing British suffrage groups. They are on strike and demand food and lodging; as he encounters their arguments, he and his male neighbour come to demand women’s right to vote.
