Although obviously still confused, he marries and starts his own family. The final image of the play is one of his bending close to his wife and first child, a reformed...

Foster, whose father was an evangelist, was sent by the New Tribes Mission to work with the Yuqui Indians. He is about to join a "contact team" that hopes to find three elusive Yuqui groups deep in the jungle. Such teams are often attacked by the tribesmen they are trying to reach.
