The Pat Hobby Stories: Difference between revisions

|colspan="5"|Forced into working over the Christmas holiday to meet a deadline, Hobby and his new secretary devise a scheme to blackmail studio executive Harry Gooddorf. Hobby entertains fantasies of recapturing his status and wealth once Gooddorf makes him a producer, but their incriminating evidence (a memo that seems to implicate Gooddorf in the unsolved murder of athe director [[William Desmond Taylor]]) turns out to be nothing more than a slightly cryptic expression of grief. Wise to the plot, Gooddorf grants Hobby his new Christmas wish: that he ignore the accusation and leave Hobby on the payroll as a lowly writer.
