Plot Overview

While watching a movie being shot in San Remo, Tony and Maggie are introduced to Harry Underwood, whom Tony watched many years ago in the movie theater as cowboy star Dusty Rhodes. He soon needs the lawyer's help in a big way when he's accused of killing the film's producer. The prosecutor thinks that the producer losing all of Harry's money in bad investments--he was a business manager before becoming a producer--is motive, along with the producer's harassment of a young actress in the film who happens to be Harry's estranged daughter. Tony, however, thinks that the dead man collected more than his share of enemies among others in the film crew and sets out to prove it.
