Four couples are set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the deputy
mayor of New York City, but the party never gets started because the
host has shot himself and refuses to come out of the bedroom! On top
of that, his wife is missing. The mayor's lawyer tries to make
excuses as guests arrive, but things get progressively confused
because nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Doors
slam and hilarity abounds! |
