 Set in the mid-1930 s, a Nazi-resister (Claire Bloom) is paying to help the Jews escape pre-WWII Germany. This makes her very unpopular and subject for murder. However, back on the homefront, multiple family members and acquaintances also may have reasons for wanting her dead - not the least are the large inheritances that they would all receive. In Agatha Christie-fashion, theater director & part-time sleuth Cash Carter (Gene Wilder) teams with a real detective (Mike Starr) to wade through the suspects. Cherry Jones also appears in the recurring role of Cash s flight attendant fiancee.
