Re-creating the events surrounding the mysterious death of 1930s film star Thelma Todd (Loni Anderson) -- who was found dead in her parked car, the apparent victim of carbon monoxide poisoning -- this made-for-television movie gets its facts from the true-crime book Hot Toddy by Andy Edmonds. Although a grand jury ruled that the death of the so-called Ice Cream Blonde was a suicide, her ties to the mob point to the possibility of murder.
