During a very bad performance of the play "Murder Me Always" , an actual murder takes place off stage. The Director is shot. The "fake" murder mystery play comes to a screeching halt and a "real" murder mystery begins.

It seems that the "Murder Mystery Murderer" is on the loose and has struck again.

Luckily, Detective Joe Mamet, a Raymond Chandler Pulp type gumshoe was on a stakeout in the audience. Detective Mamet rises to the occasion to begin an investigation into this real mystery. Could it be that one of these very bad actors is really a very bad person?
