The story
Los Angeles, 1947. Aspiring actress Cookie Crumble is found dead in a refrigerator in an empty apartment, and the police settle at once on the landlord's son. His father hires private eye Joe Ezell to find the real killer.
The suspects run from devoted fans to jealous lovers to a mobster Cookie turned down, so Joe goes undercover as an actor to get close to them. The closer he gets to what happened to her, the better his own chances of ending up on ice.
