Fred Ballard, Mignon G. Eberhart
The play opens with a party in full swing at a sorority house, co-educational college. Suddenly, while the boys are changing partners during a "cut-in" dance, a girl screams and a moment later the boy with whom she was dancing is found lying on the floor dead, mysteriously murdered. The dancers are stunned, dazed. Who killed him? and why? When the hard-boiled detective fails to solve the mystery with his roughshod methods, third-degreeing everybody present from the Dean of Women to the college crooner, Judy persuades the detective to turn the case over to her. When Judy uses her own technique and almost discovers who killed the boy, suddenly another boy is mysteriously murdered. Everyone now has the jitters. Who is the killer and who will be the next victim? In quick succession come thrills and laughs for the audience, culminating in a surprise finish. Played with great success at Hollywood Community Theatre, and by the Theodora Irvine Players, New York City.
