TV Safe — Jim Stinson

Stoney Winston, diehard Hollywood gofer and grunt, is now a third-string writer on TV's hottest game show, O-Pun Sesame (Whaddya call a Russian Peasant? A ruble!) Suddenly, things go wrong bigtime. How does contestant Amber Sung Li know all the answers when only the computer knows the questions? Who's blackmailing Kelli Dengham with pictures too raunchy for even a Hustler-type rag? And who's the psychotic sending obscene threats about what he'll do to her when he grabs her? Delicious Kelli's an airhead-savant whose hilarious antics and scorching sensuality have made the show a megahit; but she isn't wrapped all that tight. Two murders later, Kelli does come unwrapped, with astonishing results that Stoney must hide from the checklout stand tabloid that's been hot on her trail. In the end, Stoney saves the girl and the show; and, as usual, faces the hard truth that his career is still going nowhere fast.
