So when one of Kitty's old flames renowned film director Ernst Zapolya calls Emma and tells her it's imperative he meet with Kitty that morning she's not surprised. Until that is he adds that lives depend on it. Ernst sounds frightened. But what can have scared him so badly - and what on earth does cheerful flighty Kitty have to do with it?
