Secret passageways, Nazi saboteurs, and dead bodies combine to create mayhem in this sidesplitting comedy. At Elsa Von Grossenknueten’s mansion, the creative team for a new musical gathers for a backer’s audition. 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. This hilarious “whodunnit” pokes fun at 1940s suspense movies and campy musical comedies.
