The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."

In this finely-crafted comedy of errors, the life of upper-middle-class suburbanites is portrayed with humor and poignancy. This play revolves around the alleged abduction of young Toby Wooster; an event that jolts the complacent and well-fed suburb of Shady Hill into surprising action. A fake kidnapper's note, a community fundraising campaign to raise the ransom money, a police stakeout at the railroad station, and George Wooster's reluctant decision to build the town's 34th kidney-shaped swimming pool are some of the outlandish events found in this "hilarious and touching satire" (Time Magazine). Superb cast includes Emmy-winners George Grizzard (Wonder Boys) and Polly Holliday (Alice) and Oscar-winner Celeste Holm (All About Eve).
