The year is 1961, the place is Pine City, California, and some broad is threatening to throw herself off the top of the fanciest hotel in town. There's trouble brewing and Lieutenant Al Wheeler wants answers. First stop, Club Extravaganza where we meet delectable Deadpan Dolores. Her name says it all... she's not shy, so what's she hiding? As Wheeler is thrust into a sleazy underworld of strip joints and lost lonely hearts, the truth isn't the only thing he uncovers.
