Very freely adapted from the story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" by Damon Runyon, with characters, situations and character names from other Runyon stories also added. Two other stories that seem to have provided some inspiration were "Pick the Winner" and "Blood Pressure," although neither can be said to have to have provided more than an idea or two for character names and/or situations.

The traditional credit in programs for productions of the show, probably agreed to in a contract with the Runyon estate, is "Based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon."

In a 1959 radio interview, Frank Loesser recalled that he got involved when producers (and personal friends) Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin called him. All he had to do was to hear Feuer's voice and the name Runyon on the phone and he agreed to a meeting.
