Description George Bernard Shaw loved to play devil's advocate. And it was never more apparent than in this early comedy that provides a defense for a rascally drinker who announces in a Puritan New Hampshire household that he's at the service of Lucifer. Against the backdrop of the American Revolution, will anyone be able to save this poor soul from the gallows?
