In the spring of 1914, Emily Daggett Weiss travels to Flagstaff, Arizona to be with her husband Adam, a silent film producer. She learns he has lost Melpomene Moving Pictures Studios in a card game and has eloped with a voluptuous trollop, actress Agnes Gelert.

The best laid plans often go awry. This period mystery, circa 1913, delves into the early days of movie-making, a husband and wife team about to make their move to California.

First Line: When Emily Daggett Weiss boarded the Twentieth Century Limited in the spring of 1914, bound for a brief sojourn in the West, one or two old biddies gave her the hairy eye.Women just don't travel without a chaperone in those days, so Emily gets more than two hairy eyeballs looking in her direction along the route.
