SYNOPSIS
“Tons Of Money” tells the story of Aubrey, an unsuccessful inventor who is deep in debt. He stands to inherit a large fortune, but he’ll see none of it because his creditors would claim it all. However, if Aubrey should die, the money would revert to his cousin George, from Mexico. Because cousin George’s whereabouts are unknown, and thought to have died, Aubrey’s wife, Louise, suggests faking Aubrey’s death so that he can resurrect himself as his cousin George! He can then collect the money and avoid paying the creditors. But meanwhile, Sprules, the family butler, has got wind of the plot, and seeks to cash in by arranging for his brother, Henery, to also impersonate cousin George. Complications and arise with the arrival of George’s wife, and the very-much-alive real cousin George!

A smart and stylish film noir musical, Tony Award winner City of Angels captures the gritty sights and sounds of Hollywood’s classic detective movies, all set to a brilliant, bluesy jazz score. In the late 1940s, Stine, a bookish writer of detective stories, struggles to adapt his crime novel into a workable screenplay. As Stine tries to maintain some integrity in the backstabbing world of Hollywood, his protagonist, a hardboiled private eye named Stone, fights for survival in a city full of criminals and opportunists.
