Her plane disappears.
She lands on an island. It is small. It is green. A tribe of harmonious people lives there. Amelia finds it restful - a state she has been longing for.
She has to sacrifice the life she had with her man. It hurts but she chooses a life among the islanders. For a while.
A freighter parks nearby. The natives purchase canned ham and cease their cannabilism. Amelia feels they have lost their charm. She hops the freighter. It lands in New York where she takes nurses' training. She works until she retires and then opens a night club.
"Pair 'o' Dice", she calls it. There's Craps, Black Jack, Roulette - and a pleasing ambience. New jazz artists play on stage as well as stand-up comedians and once a month, there's Womens' Night Out.
Many people are regulars like Earnest Hemingway and later his daughter Muriel especially when she, Muriel, is feeling a bit lost. Most of the customers are feeling a bit lost but once they leave, they feel better.
On the island, Amelia drank the secret water. She didn't know that - she was just thirsty. But it extended her life span which was fortunate since she has no lack of new ideas to try out.
Like producing a film about a young, female pilot.
The myth goes on.
