Christy has arrived in Beverly Hills, a world where annihilation is usually accomplished by legal documentats. From the depths of the mansion territory north of Sunset Boulevard her sisterRuthie lives a life hilariously untouched by reality as it is understood by the rest of the world. Especially the world that begins to intrude when the old Clark Gable mansion goes up in flames. But then as Ruthie says, "It was a teardown anyway"
