The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 is an ingenious and wildly comic romp which pokes fun at the ridiculous antics of "show biz" and the corny thrillers of Hollywood's heyday. Set on a remote estate in New York during World War II, the plot tells the tale of wealthy theater backer Elsa Von Grossenkneuten and her attempts, along with a troupe of theater people, to catch the evil Stage Door Slasher. Stranded in a raging blizzard, the eccentric Elsa races to find the killer before the whole cast gets slashed!

The plot thickens as Nazis, dead bodies, and secret passages abound. The play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who weren't killed off) untangle the mystery. Who is the killer? The pompous director? The alcoholic librettist? The bumbling police inspector? The German maid? Or one of the other colorful suspects? There is only one way to find out...
