What Is Going Wild About?
The premise of Going Wild without spoilers.
Rollo and Lane are unexpectedly thrown off a train at White Beach, where celebrated ace‑writer Robert Story is supposed to arrive. Because no one knows what Story looks like, the inn’s staff mistake the pair for him, giving them free rooms and meals at the Palm Inn. When the guests demand Story to compete in a Saturday air race, Rollo—who has never even stepped inside a plane—must scramble to learn how to fly, while the girls have wagered everything on his success.
