Tony, an aging Italian winegrower in the California Napa Valley, who proposes by letter to Amy, a San Francisco waitress who waited on him once. Fearing that she will find him too old and ugly, Tony sends her a photograph of Joe, his young hired hand, instead of himself. When Amy comes to the vineyard she discovers Tony has lied to her and problems ensue between Tony, Amy, and Joe.

The play premiered at the Garrick Theatre on 24 November 1924 and closed in October 1925, after 192 performances. It was later remade as a film, revived on Broadway, and adapted into a Broadway musical, The Most Happy Fella.
