Football superstar Cotton Tate is the idol of millions. His success on the field is mirrored by his apparent success in business, for Tate owns The Nubiles, one of New York's most exclusive night-clubs.

But away from the public eye he has more problems than he would like to admit. His career is on a knife-edge; his rampant sex life threatens to destroy his marriage; and worst of all he is $100,000 in debt to the notorious racketeer, Ollie Herman - and Herman is beginning to turn the screw.

How long can Tate pay the price?

Life as a reporter is, Sally Deenes finds, not all a bed of roses. Not every assignment can hold the glamour of the last, and she feels that perhaps it is time for her to turn her back on the drudgery in search of new horizons.

Then, by a strange quirk of fate, fortune takes her future in hand. An old philanthropist has died, and Sally was the last object of his generosity. She discovers she is the proud owner of a seaside boarding-house.

With great joy she hands in her notice and sets off to the sea - for a summer season of fun.
