_urloined Letter, The

Synopsis:
One dark night, a beautiful young singer walks into hard-boiled detective Nick Bullitt's office and laments that one of her letters has been stolen. But it's not an old love letter. It's the letter "P," and without it she can't sing, let alone recite "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers." Now it's Nick job to find the culprit while struggling to maintain his sanity in this outrageously funny "play on words."

Butler Did It, The!

A womanizing young cad is found stabbed to death in the kitchen of an old English manor. All evidence point to the butler having done it, so the other members of the household tie him to a chair while they wait for the police to arrive. The only problem? The butler didn't do it. And now he's got just half an hour to find the real killer - while still tied to the chair.
