|---|
" In a society where a husband and father is thought to be the authority in his family, the Captain, a soldier, a scientist and a wealthy man, has one set of ideas about his daughter's life and his wife has another. The Captain is used to being obeyed in all things, and expects that his desires will prevail. Laura, his wife, has other ideas. With tragic effect, she suggests to him that perhaps he is not the father after all.
