A merry mix of mayhem, melody and mania!  It’s Los Angeles’ favorite gumshoe searching for the deadly ’Pearl of Persia’ and battling his old foes:  ’The Fat Man,’ mad Mrs. Mintworth, Brush Mohair, and the evil Conchita.  It’s a tough job but it has its up side — the ’dames,’ who find him irresistible.  So what if the bodies are piling up and Lucky’s arrested on a murder rap because of that weird bird — The California Chicken.  That’s what private eyes are all about.  Wait ’til you see what happens when our hero gets trapped in a madhouse run by the villainous Montrose Hogsbreath!  No set problems, yet this ingenious spoof fills the stage like a Broadway musical.  The wonderful score is witty and easy to sing, loaded with show-stoppers:  ’Lucky Dollar,’ ’Pearl Of Persia,’ ’Something About The Boy,’ ’He’ll Never Know,’ and ’I Love A Freeway.’ Suitable for all groups, this is a real crowd-pleaser.
