Mr. Smith is a cult follower of the failed 60's TV show MAX PARADISE and approaches Hollywood studio executives about recreating it, despite the reluctance of its now-alcoholic leading man Van Conway.
The stranger Mr. Smith seeks out the agent of the director Gil Hurn in Hollywood and offers a little fortune in gold to contact him. He explains that his investors are people that miss the failed TV show Max Paradise that was interrupted thirteen years ago and now they intend to offer a fortune in gold to produce the sequence based on his screenplay. But the greatest problem is the lead actor Van Conway that is now an alcoholic bartender. Mr. Smith contacts Van Conway and offers him a pill that transforms him in a non-alcoholic man with willpower again. Then they start the aimed sequence of the black and white show.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
