<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">film plot outline</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for scenario that I've seen before include "Projected plan of action" , "Written outline of film, etc" , "plotting for a film" , "expected sequence of events" , "Production plan" .)
