ITSY BITSY: TRIAL OF AN EIGHT-LEGGED WASHOUT
“Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” In this hilarious courtroom comedy, Dish and Spoon from the Hey Diddle Diddle Band have been abducted and everyone thinks Itsy Bitsy Spider is to blame! Itsy Bitsy boldly maintains his or her innocence, telling a tale of a sudden rainstorm and a waterspout, even as Prosecutor Muffet commits to convicting the washed-out spider. Candlestick-obsessed Judge Jack B. Nimble does little to keep order in the court, though thankfully Bailiff Mother Hubbard takes justice more seriously. But is Miss Muffet following the true intent of the law, or is she simply holding a grudge about that tuffet incident? It certainly doesn’t look good for the spider when every witness — from Jack and Jill to Humpty Dumpty — reports seeing a suspect with eight legs. And there’s only one defendant in the courtroom matching that description!

NO BODY TO MURDER
Bad news — in the form of severe thunderstorms and an escaped convict — threatens the guests at the Come On Inn of Nova Scotia. By the end of the day, gung-ho aerobics instructor Billie Body is mysteriously murdered during a power outage. Was it the cook’s lemonade that poisoned her, or did someone else have a hand in Body’s death? Who would have the audacity to commit murder under so many noses? Inspector Black, on the scene in search of the escaped convict, has his job cut out for him. As the winds howl, suspicions rage — from Garth the gardener (who weeds with an axe) to an inept doctor on holiday from malpractice suits to a hairdresser who constantly changes her appearance — everyone has a hidden motive to want Billie Body dead. After all, she does have abs “to die for”!
