A Good Samaritan

In bustling early‑ twentieth‑century New York, a freshly ordained theological student finds his future hanging on a series of missed meetings. His cousin Carter Reed, a diligent clerk with connections to a powerful judge, has arranged a crucial interview that could launch the young clergyman into a coveted position at St. Eric’s. Adding comic chaos to the mix is Rex, a carefree friend whose flirtations and loose sense of time constantly threaten to derail the plan.

As the clock ticks toward a vital evening, Reed scrambles to keep the appointment alive while navigating the streets, the telegram‑runner’s urgency, and Rex’s inevitable distractions. The story captures the humor of city life, the pressures of ambition, and the tug between duty and youthful folly—all through vivid dialogue and a cast of characters whose quirks feel both timeless and charming. Listeners will be drawn into the race against time and the hope that a good Samaritan might finally arrive.
