Description

It's 1939 and Atlanta is preparing for the premiere of Gone with the Wind. But Hollywood has a bigger story breaking: a kidnapper has been targeting star babies. The amateur sleuthing team of Carole Lombard and her dashing husband Clark Gable are in hot pursuit--vintage Hollywood and vintage Baxt.
