The play explores the ideological clash between Barbara Undershaft, a devoted Salvation Army officer dedicated to alleviating poverty, and her father, Andrew Undershaft, a wealthy munitions manufacturer. Their reunion forces Barbara to confront her beliefs as her father challenges her views on morality and social responsibility. He argues that providing stable employment is more beneficial than charitable handouts, prompting a deep examination of the complexities of wealth, ethics, and the true nature of helping those in need.
