It’s 1955, and wealthy automobile magnate Sven Fürdenterder is about to unveil his company’s latest innovation that will change America forever. It’s a car with an engine that needs no gasoline, but instead runs on some mysterious alternative fuel. Considering that researcher Otto Mobile is the brains behind the new engine breakthrough, you would think that he would be happier about it, but Otto seems to be very worried about something. This new engine could turn out to be wonderful news for American drivers, but it is potentially devastating for Sloan Crude, President of the Helpers of the Oil & Gas Industry. HOGI is a lobbying group that is paid millions each year to further the cause of fossil fuels in Congress. A.C. Chevler also has grave concerns about the rumors of an alternative fuel engine, since it could bankrupt Chevler Industries, America’s #1 automaker. Security is tight as Sven Fürdenterder prepares to make his grand announcement, so don’t be surprised to see private eye Johnny Detroit patrolling the perimeter

“Cosine: A Tangent for Murder"Smarty is having a party, and you’re invited. The brightest minds of our community gather once a week to commiserate and pontificate on the issues of the day. It takes a big brain to be accepted into the Cosine Club. You have to score in the top 1% in the world on an IQ test. With such strict guidelines, some wonder how Cosine Club Founder Q. Bert Cosine can be a member. No one questions the IQ of Cosine Club President Sara Bellum, but she seems distracted by a financial problem. Is Cosine Club Treasurer P.J. Stackmoney up to no good? With all of this controversy, one has to wonder why Montessori University Professor Albert Bright would want to join the Cosine Club, but he is determined to prove himself worthy. It’s about the only thing he hasn’t accomplished. Bright is considered the world’s foremost authority on laser technology (he runs the Laser Lab at MU). Meanwhile, security guard Max L. Smart is here to make sure that everyone present is a genius, so you might have to take a pop quiz. Be ready for anything, because tonight, Cosine is a Tangent for Murder…

An Evening of Dinner and Murder Mystery On The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad- "Par for The Corpse" The 1959 American Golf Association (AGA) season is winding down, and controversy abounds on the eve of the championship tournament. Superstar golfer Arnold Driver is, of course, the favorite to win a record 10th AGA title, but a women’s group is threatening to boycott the AGA Championship. The association is refusing to allow the top female golfer in the nation to compete on the men’s tour. Perhaps that’s because “Big Bertha” Woods could actually win. After all, she’s undefeated on the women’s tour, and can hit the ball a country mile. Gertrude Stiffnagle of the “National Organization for Female Supremacy” says the group’s members will protest at the golf course, and disrupt everything from the national telecast to the tournament itself unless women are allowed to participate with the men. That’s a nightmare scenario for AGA Public Relations Director Bert E. Eagle, whose job is to make sure everything goes flawlessly during the tournament. Security chief Eddie Parr will also have his work cut out for him, but it’s all “Par for the Corpse.”

"Murder In Spades" On this very special night in 1922, the best high rollers in America have gathered for the richest poker game in history…winner take all. Eccentric billionaire Fortune Bonaventure has invited the “who’s who” of the gambling circuit to this one big game. If you have to ask how much money you need to play, you can’t afford it. “Diamond” Jim King has brought his millions, and he’s hoping to continue a lifelong love affair with lady luck. Some wonder how Jackie (the Kool )Hart got invited to the big game. Hart was always better as a two-bit hustler than a legitimate gambler. The widow Flora Flush may also be seen milling about, but the toilet paper heiress seems distraught about something. With all of these high rollers and their millions present, security guard Ace Spade may have a hard time keeping the peace. Will you have fun? You bet!

The Answer Is…Murder

This is the golden age of television-1954. On Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. all of America turns their TV to the Silverstone Universal Network (SUN) to watch “The $100,000 Answer”. The show’s Hostess is none other than that fabulous former dancing cigarette sweetheart, the one and only Chastity White. The current winning contestant is Professor Klinkenhoffer of the Ethics and Law department at Stanford. Not everyone loves the show, as network head and CEO Silverstone is about to find out, when confronted with dissatisfied former contestant Chance Nelson. Chance has involved the FCC and they have sent FBI agent Bluesteel to investigate the accusations, here on a promotional tour.

The Fowl Players of Perryville Murder Mystery Show on The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad- www.wmsr.com for details Tonight is a very special night indeed. Tonight the very famous Italian chef Appletini is here to introduce a new dish that will knock your socks off and he has picked you to be the first ones to try it. It will be televised so if all goes well, there may be a new TV show for Appletini. At least, that’s what his manager Sexonda Beach hopes. A new show means money and money means Beach can get a cut of the dough. Of course, Appletini goes nowhere without his faithful sous chef B. Alexander who aids him with all things wonderful in the kitchen. Then there is Tom Collins, the event planner, who was a contestant on Appletini’s “Chef Flambe” reality show. Will Appletini remember him? Collins certainly hopes so. Of course, Appletini has a bit of a temper and can be quite the diva, so there is security tonight….just in case.

The Fowl Players of Perryville Murder Mystery Show on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad!! see www.wmsr.com for details It’s PTA night at Cumberland High and everyone is watching Vice Principal Ivan Cheeden to see how well he does since rumor has it that he will be the replacement for retiring Principal Nearbe. In fact, Nearbe is so ready for retirement that he is missing this meeting to play golf. One person who is watching VP Cheeden is Secretary Shirley Oliver, who admires his leadership and maybe a little more. The school’s Social Studies teacher and last year’s Teacher of the Year winner, Mr. Aaron DeWhirl, is here to make sure his new globes get approved by VP Cheeden for classroom use. The PTA Treasurer, Mrs. Shiva Arm, is at the meeting, but is not happy since the check to purchase new bowling balls for the bowling ball team was “misplaced,” potentially costing her son, Alfred Arm, his bowling scholarship for college. Thankfully, Principal Nearbe sent Officer Chuck to make sure the PTA meeting goes well so he can retire peacefully on a high note.

Murder by 9 (8 Central)

Love it or hate it, reality TV appears to be here to stay, and no network is making more of a ratings splash in reality TV than NBS. The recent 9-week series "Whose Pants Are These?" took the world by storm, and viewers were shocked to learn that contestant Lee Strauss won the $1 million dollar prize by being the first to match nine pairs of pants with the show's nine contestants. It was a surprise ending because another contestant, Richard Castaway, sure seemed to have a knack for the game. He wasn't very liked by the audience, though (at least according to the network test groups). The host of "Whose Pants Are These" has been having a rough time since the show ended. There has been a "Variety" cover story that suggested that J.P. Pabst would not be invited back to host the other NBS reality shows in development. That shouldn't matter because Pabst certainly made a lot of money on the last show. Security guard Harvey de Grace knows that. There's very little that happens at NBS that Sullivan doesn't find out about during his late night security sweeps through everyone's private offices. NBS is making a killing, but will it be Murder by Nine?
