Police investigate a series of murders backstage at a NYC burlesque show. Star Barbara Stanwyck and her wannabe boyfriend Michael O'Shea are just two of the possible suspects in the large cast. A passable whodunnit with some lively dialogue and entertaining classic burlesque and old vaudeville interludes.
