Inspired by real-life Hollywood antics, the show centers on the stars and employees at the fictional 1930s Sylver Screen Pictures movie studio.

The show opens with the "gossip of the day" in which a Hedda-Hopper-ized Holland Taylor mixes tales of the studio era, circa 1937, with the behind-the-scenes stories of our friends at the mythical Silver Screen Pictures. The plot then develops, often containing crude references to real-life stars of yesteryear combined with failed attempts at witty dialogue and often-inconceivable plot points, such as random "raids" on various parties and clubs, although prohibition ended four years earlier. The show ends the same way it began, with a sometimes drunk Hedda/Holland giving us a bit of "juicy gossip" about our "favorite" stars, then proceeding to insult them once her radio minute is over.—Susan L.
