Jesse Steals the Gold!
Two thumbs up. Five stars. Jesse has heart and Hollywood heartthrob, Mitch Marlow, in chaps and spurs. The former is going to win the film an Oscar nomination, and the latter is raking in more gold at the box office than Jesse James ever dreamed of.
We were there for the star-studded premiere, and the Intruder will be there for the Oscar awards.

Elvis Spotted At Hollywood Wedding!
Superagent Molly Hill wed Oscar nominee Mitch Marlow in the garden of Peter Ketteridge’s Beverly Hills mansion.
The bride and groom slipped briefly into a white canvas tent before the wedding for some sort of private ceremony.
But they weren’t missed by the wedding guests, who were busy gawking at Elvis, filling his tuxedo pockets with wedding cake.
The Intruder’s film didn’t develop. Could it be that Elvis is a vampire?

It’s a Boy! It’s a Boy!
It’s twins! Matthew and Peter Marlow were born at midnight and one minute after.
Mitch is rumored to have given Molly a string of antique pearls. Molly, the nurses on the maternity floor claim, gave Mitch a certificate for a vasectomy.
The Intruder doesn’t believe it for a moment. There are sure to be more productions coming from this talented team.

Who Is This Mystery Woman?
Is Peter Ketteridge about to sprinkle fairy dust upon the lovely who appeared with him on the “Run Away with the Rich and Famous” segment, or were the six hulking men in the background indicative of a more personal interest?

Confirmed Bachelor Bites the Dust!
Mrs. Thelma Ketteridge of L.A. announced the engagement of her only son, Peter Ketteridge, to Angie Weir, the mystery woman who accompanied him on the Life-styles trip.
Angle’s six older brothers were seen emerging from the Ketteridge Marlow Agency last week, no doubt there to congratulate Peter on his wise decision to marry their baby sister.
A free subscription to the International Intruder is going out to Mrs. Thelma Ketteridge.
Epilogue
“HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE Peter and Angie are handling the weekend with the twins?” Mitch asked Molly as they entered their room at Moral Courts, White Castle burgers and Ted Drew’s concretes in hand.
“They’ve probably taken a vow of childlessness,” Molly said and laughed.
“And doglessness,” Mitch added, referring to the pair of Irish setter puppies they’d bought the twins.
“How did you register this time?” Molly asked, plopping onto the bed and unwrapping one of the bite-size burgers.
“Mr. and Mrs. Mitch Marlow,” he said proudly.
“Do you think that’s wise?” she asked.
“Are you kidding? I’ve also arranged for them to put up a plaque in this room.”
“What?” Molly asked, choking.
“If Michael Jackson can have his own room at Disneyland…”
They took turns feeding each other between laughter and kisses. Sweet memories of another time shared the room with them.
“Well, what do you want to do now, Mrs. Marlow?” Mitch asked when they’d polished off the last of the food.
Molly considered him as he leaned against the headboard, hands clasped behind his head. Her eyes shone.
“Shopping is a good way to celebrate an anniversary,” she suggested.
He shook his head.
“Dancing is another good way to celebrate.”
He shook his head.
“No shopping? No dancing? Is that what you’re saying?”
“You catch on fast, Red. We can’t leave the room right now.”
“Why not?”
“We’ve only been here ten minutes. I have a reputation to uphold as a Hollywood heartthrob. I signed my real name at the register, remember.”
“I see,” Molly said, crawling up the bed to lie across him. She turned off the light.
He unzipped her linen walking shorts. “Did you bring the red cowboy boots?” he asked.
Molly laughed again. “You’ve got a fetish, Mr. Marlow.”
“Yeah,” he agreed, tugging at her soft, springy curls. “I love the color red.”
