Charles Paris's acting career continues to slump, and roles are harder to find than ever. He is, however, offered temporary respite when Will Parton, with whom he worked on an ill-fated television mystery series some years previously, recruits him to participate in a corporate PR film that he has been hired to make for Delmolleen, a leading health foods manufacturer. Will Parton had hitherto been known as the writer of some moderately successful television series, though he secretly yearns to write at lest one serious, literary play. In the meantime, however, he is happy to pander to commercial success, and he has formed his own production company to try to garner some of the burgeoning corporate business. When we first meet Charles, however, his part is far from glamorous, as he is driving a fork lift truck around the Delmolleen factory, occasionally stopping to deliver a suitably platitudinous message about "the Delmolleen family" to the camera. Needless to say, within a very brief period, someone suffers a dreadful accident, and Charles's suspicions are aroused. For once Charles's investigations come up against the morass of company politics rather than the more usual farrago of actors' rivalries, . Though this is new ground, Brett handles it with his usual deftness, and the plot stands up to close scrutiny. Wholesome, plausible and very entertaining.
