Synopsis

Alex Miller, perilously close to 30, has the kind of square respectability he's always shunned. Due to the fizzure of an underground-art scheme, Alex is in debt to a loan shark to the tune of $4,000. To pay it off, he is forced to enter the 9 to 5 world, taking a job at the Ajax Toy Company. Alex means to quit when the debt is paid, but finds he can't; his particular genius is well suited to the toy game, a fact that the firm's owner is quick to acknowledge with handsome rewards. Then, too, there's Carol Brandt, a unique creature totally unlike the girls Alex usually gets involved with.
