A hilarious "who done it" that pokes fun at 1940s movie thrillers and campy musical comedies. The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious "Stage Door Slasher") assembles for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy "angel."

The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a German maid who is apparently four different people—all of whom figure diabolically in the comic mayhem which follows.

The "Slasher" is eventually unmasked—but not before the audience has been treated to a sidesplitt...ing good time and a generous serving of the author's biting satire while the "Slasher" strikes again—and again.

As the composer, lyricist, actors and director prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases, and accusing fingers point in all directions.

With no thanks to the bumbling police inspector who snowshoes in to investigate, the mystery is solved in the nick of time!

Also, it's not a musical!
