Synopsis
Set in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the 40s, the world of film studios and flimsy negligee, the show chronicles the misadventures of Stine, a young novelist, attempting a screenplay for movie producer/director, Buddy Fidler.
While Fidler professes to be a fan of Stine's work: "I've read a synopsis of every book you've ever written," he assures the author, his gargantuan ego forces Stine to make endless compromises in the script he's writing. The script is an adaptation of one of Stine's novels which features his Raymond Chandleresque hero, a private investigator named Stone. Every movie scene that Stine writes is envisaged in his imagination onstage by his group of characters. Like a 1940s private eye film, it is a tale of decadence and homicide with a liberal sprinkling of femmes fatale.
