The Plots

The Unemployed Superhero Union Meeting
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound..... to whom might we be referring? Certainly not this group. Once a fierce, fervent, crime fighting force, the superheroes of yesterday aren't quite as sharp as they used to be. They have been out of work for the past few years and are looking to make a comeback. But first they need to get organized. Who will lead this compilation of caretakers back to their respected position in the crime-fighting community? Who will be there to ruin their plans? And who will die trying? Run, fly or travel coach in a Value Jet, but do whatever it takes to get to this monumental meeting of muscle.

The Freda Love and Skip Moore Wedding
It's 1967 and Freda and Skip are about to consummate their impending nuptials. What could possibly go wrong on a beautiful day like this? Well we don't call it a murder mystery for nothing. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something in a body bag. Join the wedding party for an evening of love, laughs and loaded weapons.

If There's a Will, There's a Way
The old man had lots of family, lots of friends, and lots of money. Now that he's passed on to the other side he will read his will to everyone by way of a video that he recorded before he died. Sex, lies and videotape meet Perry Mason and the group fights over who gets what.

Appalachian Family Reunion
All the kinfolk are getting together for down-home family fun - country style. The only problem is that these folks feud more among themselves than the Hatfields ever did with the McCoys. Grab your squirrel rifle and head on down. Is that banjo music I'm hearing?

The 2009 Hiney Awards
We're rolling out Red's carpet for the most celebrated evening of the year, the presentation of this year's Hiney Awards. The Motion Picture Association has shunned them and the Actors Guild is embarrassed by them, but tonight they will receive their just rewards. Actors, directors, writers and gaffers from the year's most forgettable movies will all be on hand to vie for the most coveted award of them all, The Hiney. Find out what movies are to die for at this year's awards.

Bigfoot
It's big, it's hairy and it's been spotted in your neighborhood. No, it's not your mother-in-law, it's BIGFOOT! Many claim to have had a close encounter with this atrocious beast, and tonight they are gathering at The Midwest Southern Central Tri-County Bigfoot Guild annual meeting to discuss their sightings and converse about this elusive creature. If you have ever spotted Susquatch or admired the abominable one, you're invited to be a part of this abnormal association. New members are always welcome, but remember, these are some big shoes to fill.

The Mob Squad
"Big Al" has bought the farm. Now everybody is hooking up at the local speakeasy to decide who will take over as Don. You were expecting Al Capone? No, this group of wannabe hoodlums may be convinced they're as genuine as Dillinger himself, but only one of them has the stomach for real murder. One thing's concrete, somebody will be fitted for a new pair of shoes.

The Lounge Singers Convention
These singers are so bad that the hotel that held their last convention had to be closed down by the health department. It was over-run with wild cats looking for mates whenever the group performed. We may be praying for more than just Elvis to leave the building. How many times can you stand to listen to Feelings in one night?

Class of 1969 Reunion
The kids are all grown up now and are heading back to Barry Manilow Memorial High School for their class reunion. Hope you were paying attention in math class so you can count the survivors. This class has some secrets that make for an evening of whodunnit fun. Think of it as Carrie meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Death Imitates Art
Attend the grand opening of the newest and chicest art gallery in town. A pretentious artist, an overbearing agent, and a room full of critics lead to an evening of murder, mayhem and Monet. Guess who did which, when, and with what. This just may be why Mona Lisa lost her smile. But no matter what, somebody is going to get framed.

The Games People Play
This show gives a whole new meaning to the idea of "Survivor". Join the cast of television's next great game show and see what ordinary people will do for their 15 minutes of fame. If "Truth or Consequences" and "You Bet Your Life" had a baby and it grew up in a "Family Feud", that might be what this game show is all about. No valuable parting gifts, just continually departing guests on the set of "The Games People Play".
