Crackpots

Two stories under one cover.

THE BAKLA'S CROSS: The Philippine Republic is a grand place for fun and games. Angel Butol, ex-guerilla, ex-policeman, and former supplier of film extras and other delights, gets involved with an American treasure hunter, a retired Japanese Major, and a Filipina 'Bomba' star....she's the sort that makes naughty films. The problem with the adventure part is staying alive.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS: There's not much one can't find in Hollywood's aerie version of early Greenwich Village. Hillsiders are forever seeking happiness. Some achieve it; others engage in fantasy. What happens to Lee McAdams could happen to anyone who loves old movies and dares live in the area. But beware of flatlanders...they are never what they seem.
