About the Show: “Murder and the Belle of Idlewild!”
The year is 1943 and the Idlewild (the original name for the Belle of Louisville), is serving as a USO party vessel along the Mississippi River. The main attraction is Ruby Belle Castle – a wild, flirtatious cabaret singer who has garnered a lot of enemies. Of course, someone wants to silence Ruby, and Detective Philip Merlot happens to be on hand to solve the murder.
