Synopsis: In this outrageous comedy Arnold Meddle is on trial for killing his wife, Amelia, by squashing her on stage with a sandbag during her solo rendition of “So Long, Dearie”. It’s mud-slinging galore between Defense attorney Static and Prosecutor Cling as they try to prove their cases. Arnold contends he is innocent despite the testimony of several zany witnesses.
