When the musical director of Benni's church is abruptly called away, Benni's Gramma Dove eagerly volunteers the both of them to take over a children's play already in rehearsal. Benni reluctantly agrees to take the reins, even though the thought of shepherding twenty-eight fidgety children through a crescendo of costumes, sets, and forgotten lines is not her idea of a grand old time.But the production comes to a screeching halt when Benni discovers the badly beaten body of the church handyman right in front of the altar. Making matters worse is the unexpected appearance of her husband's ne'er-do-well cousin, as well as the disappearance of a valuable antique violin from the Santa Celine mission. With a growing cast of suspects, and a little girl as the only witness to the brutal crime, Benni must unravel a plot of theft and murder before it's curtains for her.
