Cut to the Chase

WHAM! The Masked Wonder leaps into the room and fights off four or five henchmen without even wrinkling his cape and then...? Then the Hollywood writers of the Majestic Film Studios have to figure out what he does next. Pop, Tiger Lil, Stu, Howard and Dena are stuck until they meet the latest addition to their writer's stable. "Like any of us are writers," says Howard, "or stable." As the new kid on the team, Freddie has a lot to prove, mostly to his overbearing mother. Does he give up and leave with Mom? No chance! Especially not with Dena around! These two lovebirds prove that love can win out, even when Kate, their boss, makes a play for Freddie. And what does the studio head, Mr. Obermeyer, have to say about it all? Not much, since he's suddenly struck with amnesia. What do you do with a boss who can't remember to fire you? Find out in this 1949 screwball comedy where the situation is hopeless but not serious, where anything can happen and usually does, and where it ain't over until they "Cut to the Chase."
