The Musical Comedy Murders Of 1940
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious 'Slasher') assemble for an audition at an isolated country mansion. The house is replete with secret passageways, Nazi spies, a bumbling police inspector and a maid who is apparently four different people - all of which figure in the comic mayhem which follows when the 'Slasher' reappears, striking again and again, and again. While everyone prepares for their performance a blizzard outside cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start dropping and suspicion mounts with the demise of each new victim until the 'Slasher' is finally unmasked - much to the relief of the audience, who will need a rest following the non-stop barrage of laughter.
