[unintelligible yells from crowd]

Man in crowd:

Elinor Glyn:
[voiceover] In November of 1924, during a weekend yacht party bound for San Diego, a mysterious death occurred within the Hollywood community. However there was no coverage in the press, no police action, and of the fourteen passengers on board only one was ever questioned by authorities.

The yacht, you see, belonged to William Randolph Hearst.

Elinor Glyn:

[pause, Hawaiian guitars play "Aloha Oe"]

Elinor Glyn:
After we all leave, the man in the box will disappear. Just his ashes will remain. After all, it's fire that can hurt you, not ashes.
