It’s Los Angeles in the Spring of 1943 at the studio of the radio program “Dead Serious.” What happens when a murder actually takes place on the set of this popular murder mystery program? When a poorly disguised man appears at the door of private detectives, Gail Bennett and Rita Miller, the story begins to unfold - revealing more questions than answers. A meddlesome tabloid reporter, a vindictive sister, a couple of thugs with issues, and you’ve got the makings of a romp through the black and white world of noir – but this time in living color and with laughs along the way.
