Murder on the Casting Couch

The year is 1927.  Prohibition is still very much a factor, so just in case the cops decide to pay us a visit tonight, we’ll be drinking our wine from coffee mugs!!  That’ll fool them!!

It is the silent screen era.  Our victim is Royale T. Payne, famed and despised owner of Superior Studios. 

Bill Payor, CPA for Superior Studios was embezzling and he feared Payne was on to his scheme.

Owen Moore, director for Superior Studios is an alcoholic and compulsive gambler fearing for his job.

Paige Turner, newspaper columnist ran afoul with Payne because of her making public certain facts about his "casting couch" activities.

Allie Katt, top box office draw wanted out of her contract and Payne was threatening to bring up her checkered past. 

Helen Backe is a brilliant makeup artist and coiffeur and is entangled in a torrid love affair with Payne.  His wandering eye caused her to go into jealous rages. 

Les Voltage, double-crossed by Payne, is trying to get out of his arrangement but Payne is blackmailing him into submission.  

Luke Warm is one of Hollywood’s most successful and sought-after actors.  However, his job is on shaky ground as the studio insists on moving into talkies against his wishes. 
He's afraid the talkies will reveal his well-kept secret!!! 

Ella Vader fosters a deep-seated hatred for Payne because of a secret from long ago and. . .

Jimmy Lipstick, the Moderator/Host tries in vain to keep order among this
dysfunctional and very ambitious group.
