"Pawparazzi Snap!", a gossip show hosted by Sydney Flow and his dog sidekick Nancy O'Dogg, is the hottest celebrity gossip show on television. So what better place for London Bridges, a fast rising Hollywood starlet, to announce her next project "There Will Be Oil", an independent art film by acclaimed director Hugh Franklin and co-starring Dame Ruby Bench. With her pampered pomeranian Latte in tow, London arrives on location to see that she won't be receiving the star treatment she is used to. Not only will the film be shot on a farm in a secluded rural area, but London's acmodations will be on location as well. But when two thieves posing as Paparazzi show up to steal the prized "Academy Necklace" , a prized piece of Hollywood memorabilia that is bestowed about whomever is the current "it girl", London learns that her knight in shining armor is Tom, the simple farmer who is hosting her stay on the farm.

故事取材自1981年轰动全美的真实谋杀案，凶手亚恩·夏安·约翰逊杀死房东后声称自己是被邪灵附体才会行凶，是美国历史上首个被告以「鬼上身」作抗辩理由的案例，因此称为「恶魔谋杀案」。
