Synopsis: Lillian Hellman's play The Little Foxes is set in the South in 1900. Brothers Ben and Oscar Hubbard
plan to establish a mill in their town and need $75 000 for the venture. They ask help from their sister Regina
Giddens, who is married to Horace, the president of the local bank. Horace, who has only a short time to live,
refuses to become involved. Oscar's son Leo, working at the bank, steals bonds to help his father. Horace
discovers the theft but will not prosecute the brothers. He makes a new will in which Regina will receive only
the exact amount of the theft. Horace dies and Regina blackmails her brothers into assigning her a 75 percent
interest in the mill. Alexandra, her daughter, discovers her mother's treachery and greed, and leaves her home
forever. Hellman returned to the Hubbard family history later in the play Another Part of the Forest (1946),
which was set in Alabama in 1880.
