Daniel Corban is on his honeymoon in the Catskill Mountains of New York when his wife suddenly disappears. Frantic to locate her, he contacts Inspector Levine. While the two are discussing Elizabeth Corbin's disappearance, in comes Father Kelleher who magically produces Elizabeth. Daniel Corban denies that this woman is his wife, even though she can answer the Inspector's questions about her husband down to the last detail. Is she his wife? Has Daniel gone mad? Is the Priest involved in a scheme with Elzabeth to get life insurance? What does the deli man, Sidney have to do with it? Is Daniel's boss Everett Parker and his wife part of it as well? We find out with a twist ending that surprises everyone.

The "mystery" genre has its beginnings in the riddles told in Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Similar stories were told in the middle ages, but the genre didn't really begin to develop until the detective stories of Edgar Allen Poe. What is it about this genre, whether in play, film, television, or novel form that still intrigues us and captures our imagination today? Is it the personal challenge of trying to solve the puzzle even though we know the answers will be revealed at the end? Why do we not like to just skip to the end? Is it the challenge of trying to solve something before our friends and neighbors do so we can get bragging rights? I remember that after the movie "The Sixth Sense" came out, everyone who saw it was competing for the prize of how early into the movie they figured out that the Bruce Willis character was actually a spirit that did not know he was dead. And for those who have not seen "The Sixth Sense," you are probably angry at me right now because I just broke a sacred rule about mysteries-never give the ending away to others! We want to experience the fun and challenge of trying to figure out the truth for ourselves rather than having it handed to us. I speak for the cast and production staff when I say that I hope we have provided you with an evening of fun, mystery, and intrigue.

Oh, and by the way, Elizabeth Corban is missing because ...

Thank you, Dan Kavanaugh
