Synopsis

In the gripping episode Everything Is Nice from Let George Do It, George Valentine is approached by E.F. Wenderman, a wealthy father worried about his daughter, Vivi. At just 18, Vivi has been spending her time in a disreputable bar, Bamboo Bills, and her father fears she is entangled in a dangerous situation.
