This play-within-a-play opens with the butler, holding a gun, standing over the body of Steve Walters.

John introduces us to the other suspects: Steve's business partner, his ex-fiancée, his current fiancée, and her friend. But that's when the play falls apart, for the actors are as jealous, petty, and conceited as the characters they play.
