THE STORY: A writer of TV whodunits and whyzits, always with an eye toward inventing the almost perfect crime, gets into a spot where he has to commit a real do-it-yourself murder. His wife has become the target of blackmail, so the writer has to silence the so-and-so with a six-shooter and then find a place to hide the body. Having acquired at auction a gazebo for their suburban backyard, the writer and his wife decide to plant the blackmailer in its fresh concrete foundation. Mysteriously, it isn't long before the body turns up again - in the middle of their living room! Soon the house is crawling with detectives and district attorneys, all looking to point the finger somewhere, thus casting the writer in a role he never expected he'd have to play: the suspect.
"Suspenseful and funny
an immensely warm and humorous experience in the theatre. It should have a long life." - NY Journal-American. "Fun and entertainment for the whole family." - The Hollywood Reporter. "Vast, hearty and hilarious
the murderous fun is irresistible." - NY Herald-Tribune.
