Synopsis

A Dramatic Society is assembling on the stage to rehearse a mystery-thriller under its dictorial director Philip Stephens. Events and strains within the company, more than equal those in the play. Philip's wife is friendlier than is wise with a young man of the company, a 'prowler' is in the neighborhood and attacks one of the girls, an unpleasant caretaker tries a little blackmail and one of the women seems to know him from the past. The rehearsal proceeds under difficulties until the mysterious death of the caretaker brings the situation of the who-dunnit even more closely into real life. It transpires that almost everyone might, and could, have murdered the dead man.
