Sam Slade, a famous (although rather inept) detective, needs the help of your audience in solving this delightful mystery.  Sam has come to the Clam Cove Inn island resort in a marital pursuit of his girlfriend, Lila Dean.  Lila, however, has her sights set on introducing her recipe of fried clams to Colonel Horace Clamskey, the stingy and generally nasty owner of the Crazy For Clams chain of restaurants.  He’s accompanied by his secretly adoring secretary, his spoiled niece and her doting cowboy suitor, his spinster schoolteacher sister and his irritating cousin, Calvin Cobb.  Sam finds Lila, but also stumbles upon the murder of the Colonel.  Motives are discovered among the many guests as a vicious hurricane bears down on the island.  The web of sticky spine-tingling suspense continues as our criminal strikes again — the Colonel’s niece is kidnapped.  Who could it be?!  The Wiltons with their obnoxious children?  A bird-watching widow?  An eccentric New York cartoonist looking for peace and quiet?  Or the Beaupree Sisters, Faith, Hope and Charity, who manage the Inn left to them by their late father?  Sam Slade untangles this twisted plot of intrigue, eventually apprehending the killer, thanks to the help from your audience.
