A business man is tired of the routine of civilisation, sick of its nine-thirty train up to town, its office bours and five thirty train. home. So he decides to give up everything, including his son, and to retire to the South Seas, where it is "Always Afternoon."
There (in the Lyric Theatre, London) he falls a victim to the three perils of the region--"mat disease,' which makes every man want to lie down and do nothing; kava, the drink which paralyses; women. And when twenty years later his son happens accidentally to visit the island with his fiancée, they find a ragged, disreputable old man who commits suicide rather than see his son (attracted by the glamour of the isles) sink to the depths which he himself has reached.
