Boyd's Shop by St. John Ervine adapted for broadcasting by JOHN BOYD
The general store in Donaghreagh is run by a popular pair-a widower and his daughter. A brash, modern-minded young grocer decides to compete not only for trade but for the hand of Miss Boyd. The fate of Boyd's Shop is the theme of this comedy of country manners.
