"Samuel W. Taylor: Checkmate" handler om en morder Trench Roberts, der redder en vicesherif fra kuldedøden, så de kan spille skak. Måneder senere får vicesheriffen Trench til at gå amok på sig, så han med god samvittighed kan arrestere ham.
"Budd Schulberg: Spotlight" handler om en gammel stjerne, der er sakket noget agterud, men alligevel ender med at skrive en autograf.
