Reminiscient of the screwball farces during the golden age of cinema, this romping musical teams Felix T. Filibuster, the greatest detective in the world, up with Pinchie the silent butler, and his Italian friend and coworker, Pepponi
The trio, along with a classic comedic cast, try to prove that Clyde Ratchette is trying to swindle the wealthy Mrs Stuffington, who has just invested a bundle in the production of The Nutcracker Suite
The mishaps, jokes, musical numbers and mayhem leads to a farcical climax that incorporates elements of The Nutcracker Suite into its craziness
A guaranteed crowd-pleaser
