Seven Keys to Baldpate is a 1913 play written by George M. Cohan, based on a novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Widely considered to be one of Cohan's best works, the play focuses on a writer named Billy Magee, who has made a bet with the owner of an inn known as Baldpate - wagering over 5,000 dollars that he could write an entire novel within a 24-hour period. In order to complete his work, Magee is given what he believes to be the only key to Baldpate in existence, in order to find complete and total solitude - however, during the evening, several strange characters (all based on Melodrama stereotypes) emerge and get Magee involved in a plot to rob the city of Routon of $200,000, revealing to him that there is, in fact, not one key, but Seven keys to Baldpate.

Plot Twist: Two of them. At first, it's revealed that everything was a hoax put on by the owner of Baldpate to show Magee how awful his stories would seem if they happened in real life... And then it's revealed that everything, including the hoax, was part of the novel Magee wagered he could write.

Running Gag: Each time a person with a new key comes along, they ask Magee: "How did you get in here without THIS key?." This stops with the later (and more serious) "guests."
