“A manuscript is mysteriously delivered to a playhouse where it is eventually turned into a major hit with critics calling it a masterpiece. The only problem is that no one knows who wrote it. The actress of the play receives a call from the author and the two quickly becomes friends but the man won’t give any details about himself because he doesn’t want her to know that he’s actually a dwarf. This leads up to the woman getting his address and stopping by to pay a visit. (…)”
