The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher") assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show. The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways, and a German maid who is apparently four different people—all of which figure diabolically in the comic mayhem which follows when the infamous Slasher makes his reappearance and strikes again—and again. As they prepare their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, and mayhem starts to ensue. The audience will be DYING with laughter at this performance.
