The narrative unfolds in the drawing-room of a flat in Ashly Gardens, where Leonard Charteris, a charming and unconventional man, is entangled in a love affair with Grace Tranfield, a widow. Their intimate moment is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Julia Craven, a passionate and dramatic woman who claims Charteris as her own. The ensuing confrontation reveals the tangled web of emotions and misunderstandings among the characters. Charteris, who is in love with Grace, is caught between his past with Julia and his desire for a future with Grace.

The play also delves into the social dynamics of the time, with references to the Ibsen Club, a fictional establishment that challenges traditional gender roles and societal norms.
