This play centers on the Promethean Society, a secret group dedicated to the improvement of morality throughout the world. Vernon Marcus has agreed to become a member but has second thoughts when actually having to fork over a $1,000,000 "contribution". Promos, the leader of the society is very forceful and anyone who doesn't obey, or who challenges his authority, lives to regret it. Vernon calls upon Brian Casey, a private detective, to look into the issue.
