The Same Story begins with the opening night of Larry Weston's first play—a night of triumph marred only by the threat of a plagiarism suit which is handed to the producer almost as soon as the curtain is down! Although the author has always insisted that his play is an account of a personal experience of his own, it 'transpires intriguingly that a novel with an identical situation has been written in Italy !by a girl who is a complete stranger to Weston.
