Director Mickey Hockstedder can barely stand the outrageous acting styles of his actresses - and that includes his wife, Clarise. Imagine his surprise when a complete stranger named Lionel appears, claiming that his lead actor Daryl has been murdered! Even after the police arrive, no one believes Lionel, especially since Daryl is known for shenanigans of this sort.
