“The Plot” features 23-year-old amateur detective Teri Benda. Teri works as an assistant editor for a mystery magazine. This job, for all its merits, doesn't fulfill Teri's compulsion to investigate real-life crimes, a practice that frightens her mother and irritates Detective Lieutenant David Malatek. While at work one day, Teri is reading a mystery story submitted by a would-be writer named Mullen. Mullen displays none of the literary skill required by magazine editors, but Teri finds one page in the story that appears to have been included by mistake. The page reveals a murder plot that is either the plot for a story or the plot for a real murder. Despite the fears of her mother and the advice of her boss, Teri sets out to discover whether the plot is fact or fiction. This leads directly to the body of a man who didn't die of natural causes. Will Teri let the police handle it? Not likely.
