EVERYONE KNOWS JUDY.

BUT DO YOU KNOW

MARLISE?

Hello, I’m Arnold Berman, a Hollywood prop-room assistant, and President of the Marlise Mattox Fan Club. I’ve worshipped her since birth (long story). So when my idol is arrested, I mean… framed for murder on live tv at the 1954 Oscars, I know exactly what to do: bail her out, solve the crime, and film the whole thing as her comeback story.
