WILD IS THE WOMAN

Eve Barry is a woman on a mission-to free her brother from prison for a crime he didn't commit. The man who put him there is Vance Owen, now a city councilman and soon to be major. But Vance is a liar and a rat, and Eve intends to get him to change his charge against her brother, whatever it takes. But first, she has to get his attention. Knowing that he has a weakness for strippers, Eve joins a burlesque show. There she meets Sugar, cynical captain of the chorus girls; Cheeta, a Latin spitfire with a larcenous soul; Wiley, self-effacing orchestra leader; and Jeff O'Hare, the hard-bitten, tough-talking manager. All Eve has to do now is learn how to take her clothes off on stage...

LOVERS DON'T SLEEP

Suzy is crazy in love with Harry Sloan, but to Harry, she is just a means to an end. An attractive means, sure, but Suzy is more valuable to him working his divorce racket than anything else. And what a great racket it is. A couple want a quick divorce, and lawyer Harry arranges to have the husband found by the wife and a photographer in a hotel room with a scantily clad Suzy. It's a great scam. Except that the photographer, Joe, is worried that Suzy is letting herself be used by Harry. And now that Harry's got a new deal cooking with Camilla, Suzy means even less to him. If only Joe can wise up Suzy before it's too late...
