Clarence Smetters has a secret. He's been spending each day writing a Brilliant Story on the city bus on his way to and from his job. Clarence Smetters has a problem. A fellow passenger he knows only as 'Hell- My Nam- Calvi-' has spotted him, and when 'Hell- My Nam- Calvi-' needs money fast, the first thing he thinks of is Clarence's fancy little notebook. How far will Clarence go to reclaim his creation? That depends. How far will he have to?
