First there was Benny the Meatball, but he had run screaming into the night with five bullet holes in him. Then came "Bugsy" Siegel, but he died ignobly (of four rifle slugs) while sitting on a divan in his girl's house. After that, sad-eyed little Mickey Cohen became the undisputed boss of Los Angeles' gangdom...
...1880s, when France had just shipped the Statue of Liberty (in 200-odd cases) to the U.S. The plot concerns a circulation war over the statue between Joseph Pulitzer's N.Y.

To Ronald Reagan, a New York commercial artist, she looks like the perfect model for the perfect cover girl. To Eddie Bracken, a down-at-heels promoter, she looks like the promise of a fat commission if she can be teamed with Reagan in a television act. The problem: to persuade highbrow Miss Mayo to lend herself to such a lowbrow enterprise...
