Behind the Eight Ball

FUN STARS ! TUNE-STARS! LOVE-STARS! Hep-steppers and Happy Honeys!

Joan Barry (Carol Bruce) is preparing a Broadway-bound musical comedy at a summer theater in the Berkshire Mountains when two guest stars are fatally shot on consecutive evenings before the audience. Detective William Demarest demands that the actors and theatergoers return the following weekend to restage the show in hopes of solving the mystery. With no major performer willing to take the dangerous guest-star slot, Joan hires the Three Jolly Jesters (Al, Harry, and Jimmy Ritz), Manhattan washroom attendants who aspire to show business.
