Synopsis

A delightful comedy that spoofs English mystery plays, but with a decidedly American flavor. Miss Maple, a society dowager noted for her "imaginative" weekend parties, invites a group of detective writers to eerie Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island, where they are to assume the personalities of their fictional characters. Secrets abound in the creepy old mansion and when an actual murder takes place, each of the "guests" realizes he or she is marked for death.
