The four don't know each other, and therefore, don't 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 ...
Cindy finishes her set and leaves the stage to change clothes for the second set
A crash and then a scream is heard coming from the direction of Cindy's dressing room
Each of the potential murderers is convinced that Cindy has been successfully killed during intermission and believes that he/she is personally responsible
Now the police enter and announce that they have come to investigate a crime
The patrons are told to remain in the lounge area while the police are in the office questioning the staff
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
But 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 and a variety of mysterious murder weapons and attempt to unravel the mystery
