Synopsis

Aspiring stage star Katrin has so far got no further than appearing third from the right in the chorus line. To advance her career she agrees to meet a financial backer of shows for dinner. When she arrives at his apartment he is laying there dead. In the eyes of the investigating police detective she is the top suspect, although several others had good cause to murder him.
