The Peking Duck
A harried secretary takes a job with a seedy private detective and ends up involved with thugs, kidnappers, murderers and an ancient Chinese statue.
Say you're a secretary for a big firm. Engaged to a up & coming corporate type. Then the whole thing is over. He's cheating. You're fired. And the economy isn't all that good. You wind up living at home again. And you're forced to take the first job that comes along; secretary to a seedy private detective and ends up involved with thugs, kidnappers, murderers and an ancient Chinese statue. That's the goings-on in my comedy script "Peking Duck."
Wendy Meadows, a young, trusting secretary, seems to have it all. A fine job. Good friends. Caring parents. And a fiancée on the rise at the company she works for. Until she catches him with the CEO's daughter-in-law. Well, to cover it up, Wendy is fired and banned from the company. Times are tough and eventually, she reaches the point where she'll take the first job that comes her way. She'll regret that.
As it happens, her next interview is at a broken-down detective agency, run by a hard-boiled detective, Otis Dunby. Dunby seems to have studied at the school of film-noir, only noir-ier. Wendy ends up taking the secretarial job and trying to make the best of it. And it seems to be working until Amanda DuBois enters the office. She claims to be looking for a wayward husband, but she's not everything she claims. Dunby takes the case. The next day, Wendy returns to the office to find it ransacked. Dunby's missing and now a parade of shady characters are bugging her about some historical artifact. So she's now forced to get to the bottom of things.
