Young Jimmy Dolan is on the cusp of PR greatness . . . according to Jimmy. When older Hollywood star Betsy Blake—otherwise known as Madame Mystery—dies in a speedboat accident just days after wrapping a new film, it spells potential disaster for the film’s box office reception. But the ever-resourceful and free-from-scruples Jimmy has devised a plan to give Betsy the ol’ Rudolph Valentino treatment. To that end, he convinces his talented writer friend Steve to help him with the campaign. Jimmy’s plan, including his well-planted rumors that Betsy might still be alive, seems to be going off without a hitch. But could this PR scheme be closer to the truth than Jimmy thinks? And just how well does Jimmy know Madame Mystery?
