A plan for murder goes awry, leaving one fatal clue—did you spot the key to unlocking the mystery? This suspense-filled melodrama set in 1950’s London is a tale of marrying for money, love, and murder (via telephone). Featuring a small cast of talented newcomers along-side VTG veterans, this cat-and-mouse mystery featured suspense, clues, and plot twists.  The stage version enjoyed runs in both London and New York, and the 1954 film version was directed by Alfred Hitchcock, famous for his spine-tingling drama.
