FARCE. In this sequel to Murder by Farce, the usual suspects are now on trial for the “murder” of reclusive billionaire Tony Franstein. But just when the Butler admits to killing Tony Franstein, the judge reveals himself to be none other than Tony Franstein! This time, instead of solving Tony’s “murder,” the suspects must kill Tony in order to get his estate. Arriving at Tony’s mansion eager to “cook his goose,” the group quickly realizes that no one thought to bring a murder weapon, so they scramble about collecting “weapons” including a couch pillow, a shoe, a candle, a squirt gun, a picture frame, and a pencil. To help them out, Tony furnishes them with a knife, which they immediately lose. Then when the cops unexpectedly show up, they aren’t there to save Tony from a madhouse full of kooky murderers. They are there to kill Tony, too! Mayhem ensues when Tony is “murdered” yet again. Audiences will love all the plot twists and hilarious situations in this hysterical farce.
