"A Tender Attachment: A Farce by George M. Baker" is a funny play that uses goofy situations and clever talk to make people laugh. It's about a dad named Ebenezer Crotchet, who is kind of quiet and worried. He finds out his son, Horace, might have a "tender attachment" at a place called "Bachelors' Paradise." Ebenezer tries to figure things out, but he keeps running into strange people like a tinker, a soldier, a sailor, and a tailor, which makes everything even more confusing. As the story goes on, the audience finds out what Horace has really been up to, and it brings the father and son closer together in a sweet and funny way.
