Jeff Masters, a young man in his 30's, arrives in a small New England town and plies his trade as a carpenter. Though there is no mystery about his arrival, or his past (except that people are not in the habit of coming to small towns for no reason at all) the townspeople immediately start speculation. Jeff becomes a boarder in the home of Simon Farris and his wife, Martha. Then follows an almost incredible series of incidents in which Jeff is the prime mover. He becomes, in fact, a modern disciple of the Carpenter of an earlier day, straightening the tangled lives of many a neighbor, doing good in a practical sense and finally almost sacrificing his own life in a vain attempt to rescue a town "unfortunate."

JEFF MASTERS - about thirty; posses a frank, kindly, open face, a thin but rugged body. Keenly interested in people with an insatiable curiosity.
SIMON FARRIS - about forty. Middle class, respectable, religious. Oversensitive about his lack of education.
MARTHA FARRIS - about 35, tall and of solid build. Sharp voiced, straight, competent and practical. Given to correcting people, especially her husband.
LIZA - 12, small, slight, unable to walk. Cheerful and imaginative, but repressed by her mothers' personality.
MAME WINTERS - about 28, exact opposite of Martha, both physically and temperamentally. Small and slight, her voice is soft and her motions leisurely; gentle and thoughtful of others.
Peter Stone - about 30, sturdy, stocky; very dependable. Not well educated but has a keen intellectual curiosity. His manner seems at times aloof and almost hostile.
ANNA PRIESTLY - about 45, but does not look it, firmly built body. Comes from a family with deeps roots in the town of New Salem. Has a keen business mind and singleness of purpose with can on occasion amount almost to ruthlessness. Her speech and manners are faultless.
SALOME FISHER - about 50, short and plump, bright eyed and far-sighed, especially when it comes to perception of other people's affairs. She uses colloquial speech and is a kindly soul and acts always with the best of intentions.
MARK - 8 or 9 (looking), loveable child with normal reactions.
JIMMY ZEBROSKI (around 12) and JOHNNY ZEBROSKI (around 14) are what a poor home and drunken father and a hostile town have made them: a pair of rough, dirty hoodlums.
(NOTE: Children auditioning must have previous acting experience or training.)
