Kate Bliss and the Ticker Tape Kid (1978) -Executive produced by television titan Aaron Spelling (Charlie’s Angels, Dynasty) and directed by legendary Western auteur Burt Kennedy (The War Wagon), the film stars Suzanne Pleshette as a 1920s Eastern investigator who travels West to tame a charming outlaw played by Tony Randall. This comprehensive lot contains 17 folded production-made copies of original hand-drawn blueprints created by the art direction and set decoration teams. The collection provides a complete architectural blueprint of the film's primary set builds, ranging from opulent Victorian-era estates to rugged frontier railway lines. Comprehensive drafts detailing the grand estate, including the main facade, entry doors, interior elevations, stair level posts, molding details, and Beverly's Library—the centerpiece set where major dialogue and plot scenes unfold. Also includes detailed elevation plans and architectural layouts for the Train Coach, Train Platforms, and boarding areas used during the film's Western railway set pieces. Also includes layouts and ground plans for outdoor builds, including Campsite #2 and general Exterior Campsite staging for the outlaw gang's hideouts.

In high-end 1970s television movies, Aaron Spelling productions were famous for blending rich, theatrical set design with tight filming schedules. The blueprints illustrate how the art department juxtaposed opulent interior molding and mansion elevations (representing Eastern wealth) against rough-hewn train platforms and wilderness campsites. These working shop copies guided carpenters, scenic artists, and set dressers across Western backlot sets and soundstages—ensuring that doors, posts, and library shelving were scaled correctly for camera movement and lighting rigs.
