Premise

In a British TV studio, Michael Rennie (as himself) is performing live in a dramatic broadcast. On a neighbouring set, cabaret singer Mikki Brent thinks she sees a coded plot being discussed to murder Rennie. Her friends are sceptical, but she warns Rennie, and various adventures and investigations ensue.

Cast

Critical reception

TV Guide wrote, "an early inside glimpse of the television world, but a paranoid no-brainer."[2]
