DANCE TO THE TUNE OF THE GUN!<P> The cops told Joe Moran he was through as a private eye. They’d revoked his license, taken away his gun permit, and given him orders to get out of the state. They’d had enough of his two-fisted methods and the trickery by which he’d short-circuited the law to gain his clients’ brand of justice. But neither Joe nor the police realized that at that very moment his detective future was filled to overflowing with:<P> A dancing girl playing postoffice with crime . . .<P> An ex-carnie sadist with a bullwhip mania . . .<P> A lip-reading night club snooper . . .<P> A hot-and-cold running murder tub . . .<P> And Joe and the cops found themselves dancing opposites in a fever-paced MAMBO TO MURDER!

The room was on the fourth floor, and the key on the inside. The windows were closed and fastened – on the inside. The chimney was too narrow for a cat to get through. So how did the murderer escape? And whose were the two angry voices heard by the neighbours as they ran up the stairs? Nobody in Paris could find any answers to this mystery.
Except Anguste Dupin, who could see further and think more clearly than other people. The answers to the mystery were all there, but only a clever man could see them.

At the start of this play, the court room is full for today's trial. Two young men, Simon Clark and Dan Smith, stand up. The clerk asks, 'Are you guilty of the murder of Mary Jones?' 'Not guilty!' they reply. But perhaps they are guilty. The police found the murder weapon in their stolen car, and there was blood on Simon's face. If the court finds them guilty, they will go to prison for a very long time. Can the lawyers find out the truth, by asking the right questions? Everyone in court wants to know who murdered Mary Jones, especially her mother, and her boyfriend, Jim. You can help to find the answer, too!
