Summaries

A comedy about a dreamer whose Walter Mitty-like fantasies turn his world of make-believe into a world of trouble. Tim gets his thrills by escaping reality. Having little success with the ladies, Tim decides to invent a whole new personality. Now, as the rich, debonair and exciting person he always wanted to be, Tim takes to the streets. Most women see right through his lies, until one of them takes the bait. His detailed account of a major art heist about to happen attracts the interest of a journalist whose expose turns Tim into a national celebrity. Now, women are at his command- Tim knows this is the life for him!—LuckyStarrs22
