THE STORY - The year is 1946. Lt. Foster has inherited a guest inn in the Green Mountains of Vermont currently run by Mrs. Holmes (the housekeeper) and Seth Murdock (the groundskeeper.) The guest inn is hosting famed writer/director Adrian Garson and a troupe of actors in rehearsal for a new Broadway play away from the scrutiny of the Manhattan theatre critics. When one of the actors, leading man Allen Simpson, falls to his death from Eagle Point, Lt. Foster suspects foul play but before he can even unpack, Harry Hunsacker and Nigel Grouse arrive to gum up the works. Will the murder be solved before Lt. Foster loses his sanity? Join us and find out!

Foster, Ben Bryant as Nigel Grouse, Leslie Patrick as Alexis Eden, Terry McCracken as Rebecca Holmes, Alex Moore as Jenny Stewart, Chris Messersmith as Seth Murdock, Hank Henry as Edgar Doyle, Scott Nixon as Adrian Garson, and Gordon Fox as The Stranger.
