Murder Is No Jive
The setting is the local high school gym. It’s a 1950’s high school prom and the Principal is checking to make sure there is no alcohol at the event and if anyone is dancing they better be at least a football length apart. Everyone is anxious to find out who will be the king and queen. That is until tough guy Johnny Angel shows up to spoil the party.
