Congressman Richfield is giving his acceptance speech on the eve of his election as Governor of New York when bullets start to fly. The intended victim is missed, but not for long. His wild, irresponsible son stages his own kidnapping and a madam, turned FBI informant, is killed because she knows too much. When a bitter female reporter uncovers organized crime links in the Governor elect's background, the audience is sure it's on to the killer. But then diary notes and possible love interests surface. Who could it be? Certainly not Ms. Pinkbottom, the punctilious, loyal secretary to Mr. Richfield! A tough nosed detective dressed undercover in female garb tips his wig and takes over an investigation that is comical chaos at its best. 
 
The roles being cast are:
HOST:  The host for the evening and the one who guides the guests through the clues.
DETECTIVE GEORGE BLOOMBERG:  Undercover FBI Agent.  Here investigating a Mafia scam in drag as Georgette Bloom.  Good-natured, yet hard-driving sleuth.  Wonderful sense of humor.
VELMA VIXEN:  Madam of a Washington brothel.  FBI informant helping George with his Mafia investigation.  
STANLEY J. RICHFIELD:  Typical politician:  intelligent, articulate, artificially sincere.  Presently New York State’s Senator in Washington D.C. running for Governor of NY State.
DORIS RICHFIELD:  Second wife of Stanley. Stanley’s biggest fan-always a supporter.  Sometimes confuses love with money.  
RODNEY RICHFIELD:  Flaky son of Stanley.  Practical jokester, spoiled and bored with life.  Unemployed graduate of Harvard where he created his own major: Thespian Sociology (How theatre people interact in the real world).
NAN BEAUMONT:  Aggressive newspaper reporter currently working for USA Daily.  Outspoken and sarcastic, overly confident.
TORTELLINI FUSILLI:  Ex-hooker who worked for Velma.  Daughter of a pasta entrepreneur from Milan.
LUIGI ROSETTI:  Hot tempered, domineering and intimidating with everyone.
JULIE PINKBOTTOM:  Punctilious, dedicated secretary of Stanley for 8 years.  Emotionally unstable, sweet and charming outside, vindictive inside.
ANTONIO SCUNGILLI (alias BIG DADDY).  Tough mob leader, gruff voice.
