Girl, Incorrupted: a love-horror story

College senior Daphne James expects her boyfriend to propose tonight. Instead he says he'd marry a girl like the vaudeville starlet they see on a new theater's promotional poster. Hoping to learn what makes the starlet so appealing, Daphne decides to check out the show.
