The opera was originally commissioned by NBC in 1939. It was specifically composed for radio performance. It exposes the gossip and secrets of a seemingly quiet town.

She and her maid Laetitia quickly become enamored of him and turn to robbery to keep him there, even after discovering that he may be an escaped convict.
