Betty Breaks Out
Betty is an actress. Betty is a heroine. Betty is the next victim.
A silent film actress is kidnapped, her leading man is locked up in the next room. Finding themselves at the crux of a murder mystery, they test the lengths they must go to break out of the roles they were built for. What is part of the show and which part is not?
Betty Breaks Out is based on The Second Nick, an unpublished story by British 1920s thriller author Maurice G. Kiddy.
