Premise:
"This one-hour series is all about the good old Prohibition days of rum-runners
and racoon coats. Rex Reason
and Donald May play reporters Scott Norris and Pat Garrison, and Dorothy Provine
plays Pinky Pinkham, who sings
and dances at the "Charleston Club" in New York. The series had the use of the
famous Warner backlot that had

of the period sung by Dorothy Provine.
