Do you have what it takes to be on the Flagler Playhouse stage?

However, the house is sealed shut, Myra and the servants are nowhere to be seen, and Charley has apparently tried to shoot himself. As the other guests arrive, Ken and Chris have to maintain the charade while taking care of Charley, who has passed out in his upstairs bedroom. It all comes to a head when the police arrive.
