    In a clever fusion of murder mystery and musical flair, eleven Gilbert & Sullivan numbers weave seamlessly into the unfolding drama, ensuring that either the operatic tunes or the suspenseful plot lingers just offstage, ready for its cue. Lois Collier finds herself thrust into the spotlight as the unwitting witness to a brutal killing, but after the police clear her of suspicion, they enlist her in a daring scheme to ensnare the true culprit, an obsessive G&S fanatic. To bait the trap, authorities dip into the city budget's miscellaneous expenses to bankroll a lavish Broadway production with Collier as the star, blending high-stakes intrigue with show-stopping performances.
