What’s a trust fund baby to do when his trust fund isn’t accessible yet? Why, coerce some ladies into prostitution to pay his bills, of course! Welcome to the twilight of Manhattan’s Café Society, where being rich meant being famous in the papers. And enter Mickey Jelke, an oleomargarine heir who went on trial twice. Along the way we learn about why Peter Pan collars had a brief moment of being considered sexy, why learning Joyce Kilmer’s “Trees” was once considered a suitable punishment by a judge, and the war between butter and margarine.
