When Tom goes to check up on Leroy Dane at a restaurant, Tom sees his ex-fiancée Linda for the first time in many years. Linda's friend Nikki is also at the restaurant. With the help of Tom's friends--a colonel in Washington D.C. who has access to military records and a detective in New York who has people doing research and running down clues--Tom begins to unravel a complicated story that involves Linda, Nikki, Leroy Dane, and his own past. "Twenty Plus Two" is a 1961 whodunit film that came out of the Allied Artists studio, starring David Janssen, Dina Merrill, and Jeanne Crain. On the far side of middle age, Julia Joliet, who operates her own Hollywood fan club service, her most famous client being movie actor Leroy Dane, was found murdered in her Hollywood office. Tom Alder, a pseudo-private investigator who specializes in finding people in wills and estates cases, is interested in the murder in Joliet having newspaper clippings on her desk of a high profile unresolved case from twelve years ago, that of missing heiress, then sixteen year old Doris Delaney. He wonders if Dane is somehow linked as he opens his own investigation into finding the missing Doris. This situation coincides with Alder being reunited with former girlfriend Linda Foster, who openly states she made a mistake leaving him to marry another man eleven years ago when he was stationed in Korea. But in initially having spotted Linda across a crowded restaurant, Alder couldn't help but be fixated on one of Linda's dinner guests, engaged Nicki Kovacs, and muse whether she is someone other than "Nicki Kovacs", someone specifically from his past. What happens with Alder is affected by being openly shadowed in his investigation by an ex-con/con-man nicknamed Big Frenchie. —Huggo
