Johnny Twennies, a newspaper columnist in present-day New York, is a jauntily cheerful, very friendly, totally honest and upstanding young man who happens to be completely oblivious to any technological or social changes in the past 70 years.

One day he's threatened by criminals who want to plant a false news story. But they've never met anyone like him before...
