In this musical spoof of Agatha Christie “who dunit?” murder mysteries, ten people stranded in an isolated English country estate during a raging thunderstorm are killed off one by one in mysterious (and hilarious) ways. As they try to discover the murderer’s identity, the situation is complicated by power failures and suspicious behaviors carefully noted by elderly amateur detective, Miss Tweed.
