The two, when found, would be united in one of Purity Picture's Unparalleled Productions. To this end A. Leon Snydacker, President of Purity Pictures, Inc., would pay $15,000 for the best novel, suitable to picturization, by a hitherto unpublished author, and the prospective Queen of American Beauty would be starred in it. "That's one of the Undiscovered Beauties," snarled Holmes. "She wins. I lose." "Meaning that you entered that mug of yours in the contest?" "No, you fishcake. I sent in a story for the $15,000 prize. It was my magnum opus, rewritten to suit movie requirements. And what happens? Back it comes and socks me in the jaw." He made a furious gesture toward an envelope, bulging fatly on the mantel.
