"It was the kind of night when you caught yourself holding your breath for no reason at all"

So says private eye Harry Monday as he investigates three murders at the Peaceful Pines Sanitarium. Even the police are getting tired of coming out and ask Doctor Morrissey if he could just phone in the details

Then when Tara, a sultry soon-to-be-heiress, shows up, Harry puts his best foot forward... right in his mouth

"Odd how relatives always head up a suspect list," he notes as the deceased's families arrive. Odder still when he finds out they all belong to the same family!

Harry finds it tough going when he tries to determine who killed an old sea captain, a ventriloquist and a tramp. What did these three have in common? And why would lawyer Lilly Dramkean get involved in shady legalities? Or Larramore take a night off on the date when the murders took place? And how come no one can ever keep track of socialite Mary Tobia - "One of those dames from Who's Who who don't know what's what," Harry says

Throw in an Indian, a Swedish gardener and a disgruntled nurse and the confusion multiplies. This lightning-paced comedy/mystery comes complete with its own lightning as a storm blows out all the fuses ... and the murders keep coming!

In this spoof on the old-style private-eye movies, the laughs are fast and furious
