Synopsis |
Peter Knight, a struggling writer, is sent to write a
murder mystery at a dreary Vermont mansion, which happens to
be the site of another writer's murder. As Peter creates a
cast of characters for his story, a thunderstorm rolls on
through and, with its lightning flashes, his characters are
set free and come to life, materializing one by one. Baffled
by this turn of events, Peter grapples with these diverse
personalities and the directions in which they are trying to
take his plot. Tension between these characters, and comic
situations, begin to build as Peter's fictional murder
mystery becomes reality. Who is the likely killer? Among the
possibilities are a butler, a maid, a lawyer, a society
matron, a strange woman, an ingénue and a couple of other
suspects. The mysteries are solved with ingenuity, wit,
romance and lots of laughs. |
