the International Broad-casting Company's reference department
librarians in 1950s Manhattan. Besides being equipped with encyclopedic
knowledge and whip-smart wit, these hilarious working girls know how to
have a good time while getting the job done. But, when a male efficiency
expert with an "electronic brain" enters this all-female world, rumors
of pink slips fill the air. Have the gals met their match? For details, go to the Players website.
