The Butler Did It
About
Lady Blackwell is dead and, through a series of confusions, misunderstandings and coincidences, her butler – Frederick Withers – is the prime suspect! He must work together with snarky maid Dorothy and his…“friend” Percy Wilde to clear his name, keep his “queer” little secret and find the true suspect amongst an eccentric priest, a bitter snobby couple, and a loving mother. As the trio try to clear Withers’ name, Arthur Fleming (a clueless mystery writer) and John Jenkins (an even more clueless cop) begin “investigating” using the questionable skills of coincidence, insane logic and wild assumption.Written and Co-Directed by Ben Provan-Koch
