 The Art Of Dramatic Writing -- Writers Write(R)
The play grew out of a Biblical quotation which is the premise: "The sins of the fathers are visited on the children." Every word uttered, every move made, every conflict in the play, comes about because of this premise.

 Design Arguments for the Existence of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
What matters for Paley's argument is that works of nature and human artifacts have a particular property that reliably indicates design.
Paley's watchmaker argument is clearly not vulnerable to Hume’s criticism that the works of nature and human artifacts are too dissimilar to infer that they are like effects having like causes.
Paley's argument, unlike arguments from analogy, does not depend on premise asserting a general resemblance between the objects of comparison.

 Premise (film) - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
A story which has an easily understood, compelling premise is said to be high-concept, whereas one whose premise is not easy to describe, or relatively small-scale or mundane, is said to be low-concept.
However, truly original, compelling premises are fiendishly difficult to come up with, and may take a writer many months of thinking and reading.
There is no doubt that the simplicity, originality and compelling nature of the premise (which was perfectly captured in the film's publicity posters) played a major role in the film's commercial success.
