Gwenny June's husband is out of town for a couple of months, and she gets bored. So what does she do but steal the most famous painting in Charleston, and hang it in her living room. The insurance company sends their best investigator, and soon he is on her trail. Just like in the famous movie, they fall for each other, Tommy Crown alternately courting her and trying to throw her in jail. Add to that the strange phenomenon of the woman in the painting, Gwenny's ancestor Gwendolyn, coming to two dimensional life and talking from out of the painting, and you have a fun story.
