In 1950s Hollywood, Guy Stone (Matt Letscher) is king. Star of the silver screen, adored by fans everywhere, it seems nothing can stop his rise to superstardom.

And since the government boys figure gay is as good as Communist, the studio fears that the public may detect something "pink," if not pinko, about Guy.

It seems like wedded bliss, with Sally completely clueless as to her husband's orientation.
