Plot: Struggling private investigator Louis Simo treats his work more as a means to make a living than a want to do right by what few clients he has. Through connections with the investigation firm for which he used to work, Simo is hired by Helen Bessolo to investigate the death of her son, actor 'George Reeves (I)' (qv). Reeves was best known for his title role in _"Adventures of Superman" (1952)_ (qv), a role which he always despised, in part since it typecast him as a "cartoon", despite it bringing him a certain fame. His June 16, 1959 death by a single gunshot wound while in his bedroom in his Los Angeles home was ruled a suicide by the police, the death which occurred when the house was filled with people. Reeves' story is told in part in flashback as Simo, who is trying to make a name for himself with this case, talks to or tries to talk to some of the players involved, most specifically the wife of MGM General Manager 'E.J. Mannix' (qv), Toni Mannix, with who Reeves was having a relatively open and gift-lucrative affair (she bought him that house), and Reeves' fiancée at the time of his death, Lenore Lemmon, an aspiring actress who some felt didn't love Reeves (or visa versa). As Simo proceeds with his high-profile investigation, he learns that someone doesn't want him snooping around. Through the process, Simo evaluates his own professional and personal life, the latter which includes a somewhat strained relationship with his wife and son.

Quotes:
Rowf: I can't stand the water anymore. When I shut my eyes, the water comes back.::Snitter: How do you get out? Do you drink it? Or does the sun dry it out? Or what?::Rowf: I don't know. I hate it, Snitter. The water's terrible.::Snitter: The wire's loose here, along the bottom. If I put my nose under it, I might be able to get through...::Rowf: Why do they do it, Snitter? I'm not a bad dog.::Snitter: I don't think they do it because they think you're bad.
Snitter: Have you ever thought, Rowf... that we won't need food when we're dead? Or names for that matter... I wonder who the buzzards will like best... You, or me... I hope you make sure we're properly dead before you start, old rip-beak!
[first lines]::Stephen Powell: I think he's starting to pack it in.
Snitter: Rowf. Rowf! Come back.::Rowf: [half-conscious] Can't do it. I'll fight! I'll tear them white-coats... damn white-coats...::Snitter: It's not the white-coats, Rowf. It's me - Snitter. Listen - the door's not a wall anymore.
Snitter: They're not masters, Rowf. I had a master once, and I know. Whatever the White-coats are, they're not masters.
Rowf: Something's been burnt in there. It's a death place. Bones, hair...::Snitter: They must burn creatures in there, Rowf. [sniffing] Sheep... rain... I can smell it underneath the ashes.::Rowf: In there? Smells come through the cracks. Dogs don't.
Snitter: They've taken everything away! The houses and roads, cars, pavement, the lot! How did they do it, Rowf?::Rowf: The white-coats must have changed it so they could do something or other to animals.::Snitter: But my master never used to do anything to me...::Rowf: I don't want to hear about your master.::Snitter: When I was at home, my master...::Rowf: Aren't you listening to me?::Snitter: Masters are different, Rowf! You'll see what I mean when we've found one.::Rowf: Supposing there aren't any masters left?
Snitter: The flies in my head... they keep buzzing.
Snitter: Rowf, if we don't find food soon, we'll die.::Rowf: I'm not going to die. Not without a fight.::Snitter: Who are you going to fight? There's no one here.::Rowf: I'll fight this. But we have to change.::Snitter: Change? Change to what?::Rowf: To what we used to be. Real animals. Wild animals.
The Tod: Where'd ye get that crack on the head, bonny lad?::Snitter: The world was black and white... and then the truck came, and lightning shot down my head.
