Along with Woof, the Wonder Dog, they travel to mysterious Nightmare Castle where there are modern-day pirates, dangerous creatures, and an arch criminal known only as The Fog! See Dan defeat the beautiful, evil Countess Frederika! See Dan defy the death-ray gun! And when things get too frightening, there's a Crunchy Chews commercial or instructions on how to receive your personal secret decoder. | |||||

Notes: | Music by Arne Christiansen, Lyrics by Ole Kittleson, book by Tim Kelly | |||||
| This is a delightful, audience pleasing, one-set, musical spoof based on Mr. Kelly's enormously popular hit The Butler Did It. Miss Maple, a flaky society dowager, invites a pack of zany detective writers to a spooky house on an isolated island and forces them to impersonate their fictional sleuths. For entertainment, she arranges some "classic" touches - a hairy face at the window, the threat of an escaped lunatic, no communications with the outside world. What she did not arrange was the body on the sitting room carpet! It's up to seedy Chandler Marlowe to solve the bizarre case and he makes a side-splitting mess of it! Ultimately, everyone has a guilty secret to confess and the real killer turns out to be the least suspected. | |||||
