The story

The film consists of archive footage of famous Hollywood stars, mostly home movies by Ken Murray, showing the stars as themselves instead of playing a role in front of the camera. William Randolph Hearst and his family are shown at Hearst Castle, including its zoo that included many species of wild animals. Interestingly, the film incorrectly refers to Hearst "conducting business with his secretary." The woman standing next to Hearst in that clip is Julia Morgan in her trademark hat, holding architectural sketches and notes.
