- Synopsis
- MURDER IN VEGAS Steve Allen's best-selling mysteries are acclaimed for their wit, charm, and stylish sense of fun. In this newest episode, the famous comedian faces his most challenging performance yet when a show in Las Vegas turns into an engagement with death. Murder is far from his thoughts as Steve Allen rehearses with legendary crooner Buddy Hamilton on the stage of the world-famous Colosseum in Las Vegas. The beat of fifty high-kicking showgirls sends pulses into high gear, and the gentler rhythm of Steve and Buddy's old soft-shoe routine is a guaranteed show-stopper. But the show is stopped instead by the appearance of Steve's wife Jayne Meadows in a terry- cloth robe. "Murder..." she moans, and faints rather gracefully into Steve's arms. The victim is Buddy's glamorous young wife Christie-strangled in the sauna. The prime suspect is Buddy. Steve must admit his old friend looks very guilty, Indeed. Certainly the police are quite sure of themselves as they put Buddy Hamilton behind bars. But for once, Steve is out to prove someone innocent rather than guilty. Armed with his personal knowledge of Buddy's eccentric family, a wife who was a witness of sorts to the crime, and his own seat-of-the-pants style of sleuthing, Steve frees the celebrated singer, then proceeds to track down the real killer with the aplomb that has become his hallmark.
