| | Script Preview Productions | | | Synopsis | | College pals Winnie and Jolene star in the road production of a mystery play, “The Defective Detective,” portraying Sammy Spade and Phyl Marlowe, nieces of famous fictional private eyes. When the play’s most recent run ends, they hit the road for their next gig. In their haste, they leave without changing their stage costumes. Not a problem until they get caught in the middle of a gangland shootout. Winnie gets shot and is rushed, unconscious, to a local hospital where her only identification is her stage I.D., “Sammy Spade, Private Eye.” As medics work to save “Sammy’s” life, Angela, a young angel trying to earn her wings, pleads with the heavenly panel to put her life on hold until they can work out her ultimate destiny. After all, there are no heavenly records for a Sammy Spade (probably a computer glitch). Her “book of life” is blank. It seems she’s never solved a case, including “The Defective Detective,” a play about a perfect crime that occurred almost 50 years ago at a place called the Purple Grackle Inn. The panel gives “Sammy” one last chance: she is to proceed to the real crime scene, solve the mystery, and thus delete the word “defective” from her record. Over the protests of a bewildered Jolene, the crimefighters check in to the spooky Purple Grackle Inn (which has been closed for years) and immediately encounter a gaggle of madcap characters and a peculiar crime scene. Several simple sets. |
