All That Money

Celebrity kidnappings always breed rumors that the victim is complicit. In the 1934 Lucie Spode White kidnapping case, the rumors are true.

Falls City's sexy Depression belle is a high-living heiress whose husband expects her to get by on her pin money. Only 25, she won't come into her inheritance until she turns 30! Generous-if ruthless-with her favors, when she can't raise the cash for a room at a hot-pillow motel, Lucie enlists her handsome young lover Harry Thrall in a scheme to anticipate part of her inheritance. Just a prank. Can't be a crime if she's in on it, right?

Though pants-on-fire Harry worries that one of them (and he knows who) will end up on Death Row while the other lives it up on Easy Street, he enters into the spirit of the thing. After all, Harry needs money if he's going to get to Hollywood.

So off they go, and in come reality and the F.B.I. Lucie finds herself trapped in a closet with a gash in her head, while G-Men dog Harry across the country.

Inspired by the sensational 1934 kidnapping of heiress Alice Speed Stoll, All That Money is a fast-moving, rollicking ride.
