A Los Angeles publishing tycoon is targeted for assassination by a son-in-law at his granddaughter's sixteenth birthday celebration. Neither of them know, as the assassins await the right moment to strike, that the son-in-law is the actual target, and that the sixteen year old was switched at birth with the daughter of a beautiful film star during the chaos of the San Francisco earthquake. (Her mentally troubled mother has suspected this for years, but no one believes her.) Through a studio deal arranged by the son-in-law, the screen icon is also at the party with her husband. Before the evening is concluded and the assassins make their move, secrets are revealed -- including the actual identity, lost through amnesia following a brutal wound during the Civil War, of the publishing tycoon himself.
