第一幕道具：皮毛衣Petey 和polly 在湖边约会。
正当petey很猥琐的想要亲polly时polly一把把他推进了湖里，Petey“what are you doing？！”polly“I am done with you, I love your roommate Jake.”并指着远远走过来的Jake Petey“why?”polly“because he has a raccoon coat.”第二幕道具：酒瓶Dobie抱着一堆书从门口进来，一边照镜子，一边自言自语说“Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute and astute--I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, as precise as a chemist's scales, as penetrating as a scalpel. And--think of it! --I was only eighteen.”一不小心踢到了正坐在地上为失恋而伤心的petey，D“what’s wrong with you？Don't take a laxative. I'll get a doctor”petey“raccoon……”“raccoon……”D“what？Raccoon？”P“1 want a raccoon coat”D“Why do you want a raccoon coat?”P“1 should have known they'd come back when the Charleston came back..Like a fool I spent all my money for textbooks, and now I can't get a raccoon coat. So polly just want to leave me alone.”Petey突然站了起来，不小心撞到了正俯着身子看他的dobie，“I must get a raccoon coat!”D“Petey, why? Look at it rationally. Raccoon coats are shed. They smell bad. They weight too much. They're unsightly. They……”P“you don’t understand, I'd give anything for a raccoon coat. Anything!”D“anything？”第三幕dobie筹谋着追pollyD“petey, are you still in love with Polly?”P“maybe……I don’t know”D“well，do you have any kind of formal arrangement with her? I mean are you going steady or anything like that?”P “No. We see each other quite a bit, but we both have other dates. Why”D“Nothing.”转身准备行李，然后慢慢走向门口。
P“where are you going？”D“home for the weekend”P“can you lend some money to me so I can buy a raccoon coat？”D“1 may do better than that”第四幕dobie问爸爸要皮衣爸爸在书房看书。
D“dad，you have a raccoon coat, haven’t you? A huge, hairy, gamy object that you had worn in his Stutz Bearcat in 1925. ”“yes, what’s wrong?”“Can you send it to petey, my best friend ? He really want a raccoon coat.”“enn，go ahead, take it.”“thank you, dad,”熊抱一下爸爸。
第五幕dobie 把皮衣给peteyD“look！”P“oh，my ladygaga！”D“would you like it?P“certainly！What do you want for it?”D“girl……young girl”（猥琐的笑）P“polly？”D“that’s right”P“ok，deal~”D很诧异，petey居然这么快答应了。
其实petey想着的是反正polly已经和他分手了。
第六幕dobie和polly 约会D“polly，you are so beautiful.”P“thank you.”D “you’re welcome……do you like logic?”P“logic？I like it.”D“First let us examine the fallacy called Dicto Slmpliciter, which means an argument based on an unqualifiedgeneralization. For example: Exercise is good. Therefore everybody should exercise”P“I agree, I think exercise is wonderful”D“polly，the argument is a fallacy. Exercise is good is an unqualified generalization. For instance, if you have heart disease, exercise is bad, not good.”P“This is marvy. Do more! Do more.”D“Next we take up a fallacy called Hasty Generalization. Listen carefully: You can't speak French. I can't speak French. Petey Burch can't speak French. I must therefore conclude that nobody at the University of Minnesota can speak French.”P“really ？Nobody？”D“Polly, it's a fallacy. There are too few instances to support such a conclusion.”P“Know any more fallacies?”D“Next comes Post Hoc. Listen to this: Let's not take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains.”第七幕再一次约会地点：草坪D“"Polly，tonight we will not discuss fallacies”深情的望着pollyP“are you ok?”polly很疑惑的问D“My dear,we have now spent five evenings together. We have gotten along splendidly. It is clear that we are well matched”P“How can you say that we are well matched on the basis of only five dates?”polly 很不屑，冷笑一下。
D“five dates is plenty. After all, you don't have to eat a whole cake to know it's good”dobie觉得很搞笑。
很有兴味的看着pollyP“But I'm not a cake. I'm a girl”D“Polly, I love you. You are the whole world to me, and the moon and the stars and the constellations of outer space. Please, my darling, say that you will go steady with me, for if you will not, life will be meaningless.”P“are you kidding me？”D“Will you or will you not go steady with me”P“I will not”D“why？”P“because this afternoon I promised Petey Burch that I would go steady with him”D“"You can't go with him, Polly. He's a liar. He's a cheat. He's a rat.”P“I don’t care, he has a raccoon coat.”第八幕polly和petey在一起约会Petey“darling，why you broken up with jack？”Polly“I don’t know why I don’t want to be with him since his raccoon coat has been stolen by a thief.”这个时候，dobie 从远处走来，披着一件更好的外套。
<剧终>。
