It's 1939 and when fading Hollywood star Lana Garfield hears that studio boss Al Seltzer wants to end her contract, English ghost writer George Creighton is spurred to organise an appropriate revenge.

It is 1939 and June plays the slightly fading Hollywood star Lana Garfield, contracted to Tantamount Pictures run by the notoriously difficult and womanising studio head, Al Seltzer.

Miss Garfield is writing her autobiography with the assistance of British ghost writer George Creighton but is shocked when she hears on a radio gossip programme that Al intends to end her contract. George and his ex-pat cronies take time off from their cocktails and cricket matches to collude with Al's ambitious and glamorous assistant Betty Stevens in exacting an appropriate revenge.
