just what you said you didn't want how about giving a synopsis of the plot boy in babeland concerns the difficulties of a college-bound hick homer bortz who comes from cherryville — of all places 1 on his way to school he meets tragic fate in a pullman berth also of all places the girl cynthia who is later to become the object of his assorted affections he takes a room at the home of his aunt's sister who is the wife of prof xerxes doolittle and the mother of doris — the other wench in homer's new life now professor doolittle is about to astound the world with his the ory of relative space living things he spends three hectic scenes with i his colleagues in his attic labora tory — and there we have counter plot sub-b-6 during all this the scene changes with absolutely no consideration ¦ for the stagehands from sunday ! ; school to pullman car to living o roora to laboratory to living room to kitchen to laboratory to ball room takes you through the first act the second involves barroom street corner living room laboratory and living room love interest did you say romancing in boy in babeland is just a bit complicated to begin with homer is that way about cynthia also to begin with doris has more-than-platonic interest in homer cynthia is unique — she doesn't love anybody ... at first but frank loves doris and she won't consider him because he's too risky marjories got a yen remember for frank but fred will do just as well then there's a guy called bertie who has ideas concerning marjorie and all i had to do was straighten out that mess in the final scene i'll bet you didn't yeah i'll give you even money i did in fact i'll give you 10 to 1 that it doesn't matter and while we're on the subject i'll give you any odds you want that i get plenty f sleep sunday
