The Muppets present a murder mystery. Kermit is a private eye hired by Liza O'Shaugnessy, an actress whose production is being terrorized by a killer. The director, Fritz (Strangepork), is shot. The police assign Patrolbear Fozzie to the case, and he interrogates the cast: "All right, which one of you killed the director?" The suspects are themselves killed one by one, until Kermit and Liza team up to unmask the true killers.

Songs/Sketches

• Liza sings "Copacabana."
• After the death of the director, the entire cast "sings and dances" to "Great Day."
• UK Spot: Baskerville, Muppy, Lyle the Dog, and Wolfhound sing "Pass That Peace Pipe."
• Upon facing failure in his case, Kermit and Liza join together and sing "A Quiet Thing" in the dressing room...to a surprising ending.
• When the murderers are revealed, Liza and the Muppets sing "Everything's Coming Up Roses."
