CLEWS takes you to the French Riviera, where a Miss America runner-up is in a knock-down, drag-out battle with her millionaire husband that doesn’t end until the shooting starts. It’s the story of Fred and Charlotte Nash Nixon-Nirdlinger - just the sort of thing that happens when fifty marries twenty.
