A great many people believe that the world would be a much better place to live in if it were governed by women, who could bring to the urgent, seemingly insoluble problems of the day the same penetrating and disarming logic with which they tackle their more personal affairs. Without wishing actually to govern the world, Mrs. Salesby (played by Ambrosine Phillpotts) has assumed the responsibility left by her late husband of running the mighty Salesby factory that has flourished in the town for two hundred years. And not without some fairly startling results. For Mrs. Salesby has little time or respect for the hard and fast rules laid down by Trade Unions. Indeed, at a moment when canvassing for a local by-election is in full swing, and her old friend Hugh Wallis (Peter Rosser) is standing as Conservative candidate for the constituency, she causes a great deal of alarm in his political camp by sacking a Union shop steward, Tom Spragge (William Franklyn), for misconduct that could not strictly be termed 'industrial'. Inevitably, a deputation is sent to tell her that unless Spragge is reinstated instantly the whole firm will come out on strike. But Mrs. Salesby is strictly a feminist who looks upon the workers in her employ as members of one big family of which she is the mother. This, however, is hardly the view taken by the workers themselves, or by the business magnate Sir William Garrick, C.B.E. (John Boxer) whose impending visit to make an offer for the factory looks like presenting an added complication. It is at this point in the play that tonight's excerpt from the Duke of York's Theatre takes up the amusing story.
