Stage manager Hattie Cocker is looking around the West End theatre where she's about to start her new temporary gig, when she stumbles across the dead body of the current musical's composer.

A week later the prime suspect in the murder is on Hattie's doorstep asking for her help in proving his innocence, and to do that she needs to find a missing musical score.
