Freewheeling satirist Simon Plaster is back with a rip-roaring tale of the movies, mystery, and Marilyn! A tale about the making of a cinematic docudrama based on suspicious circumstances surrounding the untimely death of legendary Hollywood sex goddess: Marilyn Monroe. • Famous Tinseltown producer/ director, Deano DeBoffo, stranded in Oklahoma City, takes on the project at the urging of an agent/screenwriter—who claims to possess a certain archival loop of film—and a local financial backer—who contends the loop cinches the where, when, why, who and how of a case that Marilyn was murdered. • Laid-off high school Drama teacher and aspiring actor, Jim Bob Sherrill is cast to play Marilyn's suspected secret Latin lover, and alleged killer, but—as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator already in the throes of gender identity crisis—also gets the part of being Marilyn in the DeBoffo docuflick titled The Deadly Pepper Shaker. • Meanwhile, Speaker of the Oklahoma State House of Representatives, D.C. "Dobber" Cantwell, staunchly opposes wasteful public funding of the arts—including subsidies for boosting OKC into becoming the "Hollywood of the Plains" — until he himself is seduced by the siren song of silver screen stardom. Henrietta, reporting for an OKC chain of weekly newspapers, initially dismisses suspicions of something fishy about the DeBoffo docudrama and suspends disbelief in its dramatization of half-truths and half-fictions, until stunned by a startling twist of cinema-verite at the flick's ending.
