<DIV><DIV><b>Soon after the Beaumont is sold, its new owner is found dead in Suite 912</b></div><DIV>When crushing debts force the proprietor of the world-famous Beaumont Hotel to offload his prized possession to the ruthless tycoon J. W. Sassoon, hotel manager Pierre Chambrun and his staff brace for change. But the threat isn&rsquo;t J.W., it&rsquo;s his son, Johnny-baby&mdash;a cigar-puffing playboy whose bright ideas for &ldquo;modernizing&rdquo; one of Manhattan&rsquo;s most elegant destinations amount to nothing more than sleaze. When he suggests that the Spartan Bar&rsquo;s cigarette girls go topless, Chambrun quits, leaving the hapless wannabe to fend for himself. </div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Chambrun retires to his penthouse to write his memoirs, waiting for the inevitable crisis to force his return. It comes in the form of a dead body, Johnny-baby&rsquo;s father, who is found in Suite 912 with a tap on his phone and a call girl&rsquo;s underwear on the floor. To save his hotel, Chambrun is happy to come out of retirement&mdash;and clean up Johnny-baby&rsquo;s mess.</div><BR></div>
