Here is the situation: Alice Gard- ner, a young radio writer, went to Holbrook Manor, a deserted mansion owned by her fiance, Steve Holbrook, to complete an important script in peace and quiet. She and her maid, Jasmine, found Holbrook Manor not quiet and deserted as they had ex- pected, but peopled by the strangest group ever gathered under one roof. They were under the care of Dr. Law- son, a psychiatrist, and Mrs. Egg, the sinister housekeeper. Also present was Glenn, a young man who claimed to be crazy. What all these people were doing at Holbrook Manor and how Alice be- came involved in a spy ring, endan- gering her life and J asmine's, caused chills, thrills, and laughter until the final curtain. The cast included : Sally Crockett Elaine Lord Selma Sherman Jerry Young Jean Wilbur Arthur Clements Paul Quinn Sheila Billings Keryn Laite Donald Worthen Cheryl Reynolds Ronald Leadbetter Alice Gardner Jasmine Pocahontas Hitler Mussolini Queen Elizabeth Rockefeller Dr. Edward Lawson Mrs. Egg Glenn Steve Holbrook Roberta Best
