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 “Stage Door Slasher" assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” Comic mayhem ensues when the infamous ‘Slasher’ makes his reappearance and strikes again – and again. A blizzard cuts off any possibility of retreat, bodies drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, and masked figures drag their victims into secret hiding places. And then – a bumbling police inspector snowshoes onto the scene.
