South Florida's premiere sleuth-about-town strikes again -- in a deliciously daffy caper that takes a decidedly deadly turn. <br> When the Palm Beach Community Theater needs a director for its Production of <I>Arsenic and Old Lace</I> Archy tosses his megaphone into the ring. After all Hollywood legend Desdemona Darling will lend her considerable talents to the production. While resident grande dame Lady Cynthia Horowitz wants a little of the spotlight to fall on her latest live-in hunk Buzz Carr she has no intention of letting Buzz rehearse all day with the actress who like Lady C has made marriage a cottage industry. <br> For poor Archy there's more drama backstage than onstage and plenty of confusion everywhere especially with the fuzzy-headed Binky Watrous serving as stage manager. When an actor takes a sip of prop wine and drops dead the Palm Beach police suddenly take a special interest in the local theater scene. <br> In a play filled with murders only Archy can separate the actors from the genuine article and bring down the curtain on the latest and most enjoyable of McNally's follies.
