Synopsis:

Four people have come to the Paradise Lounge on the same night for the same reason – to kill the singer. The four do not know each other, and therefore, do not know that the others are there for the same purpose. As the singer, Cindy, is on stage for her first set, the villains discuss with their accomplices the reason and method they’ve devised for Cindy’s death. One by one, they each set a trap in Cindy’s dressing room.

Each of the potential murderers is convinced that Cindy has been successfully

killed and believes that he/she is personally responsible. With the police temporarily out of sight, each of the murderers returns to Cindy’s dressing room to remove the evidence he/she left

behind. After entering the dressing room, each of them is killed by a trap set by

one of the other villains. The police return to the lounge to find four dead bodies, a variety of mysterious murder weapons, and a room full of “silent partners” who are no help in unraveling

the mystery.
