This 1919 stage collaboration between Tarkington and Wilson identifies some fallacies of socialism. Andrew Gibson, owner of a piano company that manufactures the Gibson Upright, is threatened by a strike. When Gibson cedes ownership of the company, the workers learn that it is not so easy to manage a business.
