It’s 1929 and Hudson Valley based bootlegger Dutch Schultz wants to open a speakeasy in the Woodstock Valley Hotel. The club will give Dutch’s new girlfriend, Lu Lu, a classy place to sing her songs. Unfortunately, local flapper Rosie doesn’t like competition and neither does Dutch's rival, Legs Diamond.
Sergeant Lance Boyle, a local cop who works both sides of the law, is the club’s greeter and bouncer. Looking over his shoulder is Needles, a longtime associate of Dutch’s, who is on hand to emcee the entertainment portion of the evening.
You’ll swoon to the best of the Jazz Age as long as the temperance union and a rival bootlegger and gangster don’t rain on Dutch’s opening night. But before Lu Lu sings her second song, tempers flare, bullets rain and a masked gunman bursts upon the scene. At least one body will fall and it doesn’t look like the Charleston did it.
Enjoy the roar of the 1920's as you keep track of the clues and guess whodunit. You could win a prize!
