He's about to lose Madame's, his nightclub/restaurant, because the greedy landlord wants to evict him and take it over as a gift for his weaselly boyfriend, Baby. So Electra stages a talent contest as a way to raise money to save the joint. On the first night of the contest, a 12-year old girl comes in searching for a man named Harry Jones. No one has heard of Harry Jones except Electra, of course, who is Harry Jones! Mary didn't know about Harry until very recently, but Electra never knew about Mary because his ex-wife never told him she was pregnant when they split 13 years ago in Seattle. Now Mary has run away from home, but her mom shows up soon enough spitting fire and a custody battle quickly ensues. Electra/Harry has a club to save, a talent show to produce and creditors to avoid, but still finds time to bond with Mary. Mary finds a new home among Electra's extended family, and Electra discovers the new love of his life. It all comes together at the talent contest finale on Christmas Eve when the juvenile court judge in charge of the case drops in for a closer look at Mary's lifestyle. A fun, music-filled comedy the whole family can enjoy. Written by Andrew Delaplaine See less
