Description: Ruth Fielding reads an advertisement for a new film -- to her shock the star is Ruth F. Cameron!  Ruth views the film and finds that it is based on one of her own scenarios and is cheaply made.  Ruth fears that the average viewer will think that the real Ruth Fielding is in the film.  Ruth's reputation could be destroyed.

Ruth hastily returns home to Hollywood, where she learns that her home has been burglarized!  Ruth's most recent scenario was stolen -- possibly by the same people who are responsible for the rogue film.

Ruth, Tom, and Chess launch an investigation into the affair but turn up little information.  They suspect that a certain company is responsible for the film, but they are unable to speak to anybody in charge.

Ruth's only clue is that there is reason to believe that a small film company on location in the desert is somehow connected with Ruth's double.  Ruth devises a clever but daring plan, hoping to expose her double and gain evidence against the rival film company.
