Harry Logan is a Hollywood producer with a small list of modest hits to his name. He has a sense of humor, a still-loving and loved ex-wife Judy - the owner of an art gallery and a sharp, gutsy lady - , and a slightly bizarre assistant usually named Lilith. Among Harry's friends is Al Lopez, a sometimes gruff Los Angeles Police Department detective.

The lead actress in Harry Logan's movie "The Versailles Plot" is shot to death with a prop gun during filming. A terrible accident? No, it was murder. Despite repeated warnings from Detective Al Lopez, Harry starts poking around to find the killer. A dangerous thing to do.
