...play is a small New Hampshire town in 1777. The colonies are at war with England. The British plan to hang a Yankee rebel. That man is the Rev. Anderson (Barnard Hughes). But he is away from home when the redcoats break in, and they mistake Dick Dudgeon (Chris Sarandon) for the pastor, since he is having tea with the pastor's wife.
