When Hollywood actor/private eye Eddie Collins finds a key in the pocket of a costume he’s
wearing on a film shoot, common sense would tell him to return it to the wardrobe department.
But his private eye’s curiosity tells him otherwise. On a ring with the key is a metal disc with the
picture of a box with its lid open and underneath inscribed the word “Pandora.” Sewn into the
lining of the costume is the name Ken Thompson. Tony Gould, a fellow cast mate, dies of an
apparent insulin overdose. Soon after, Eddie discovers a young man rifling through his costume
looking for the key. His investigation unearths links between Gould and Thompson and events
surrounding the disappearance of a young actress.
