Sin, Sex & the C.I.A.
By Michael Parker & Susan Parker
Huge oil reserves have been discovered in The Chagos Islands, a vast archipelago stretching for hundreds of miles across the Indian Ocean. O.P.E.C. is pressuring the Chagosians to join the cartel. The Chagosians, however, are interested in placing themselves under the protection of the U.S.A. secret meeting between a representative of the islands and a U.S. under secretary of state, Margaret Johnson, has been arranged in a C.I.A. safehouse in the mountains of Virgina. Unfortunately, no one knows who the island's representative really is. Concerned about possible O.P.E.C. interference, the C.I.A. has sent agent Luke James to secure the cabin. An eager beaver on his first field assignment, we are left to wonder how he ever got the job. He gets caught in all his own booby traps, manages to electrocute himself, sets himself on fire, gets a bucket stuck on his head, and if that isn't enough, he finally locks himself in his own handcuffs! We discover that Daniel Warren is replacing the regular safe-house caretaker, Mr. Cole, who was having some medical problems. Daniel is an ex marine with a dry wit, who has little patience for Luke James or the C.I.A., which he calls the "Complete Idiots Academy". To complicate matters, he finds himself the target of Margaret Johnson's overactive libido. The stage is now set for the entrance of The Reverend Samuel Abernathy, a hell and damnation evangelist, who finds sin around every corner, even when there isn't any. His car has broken down, not far from the cabin, and he is stranded. He seeks shelter for the night, for himself and Millicent, his dowdy and innocent (or is she?) secretary. Adding to the chaos is Heather Ann Faraday, the sexy, mysterious next door neighbor, who also needs to stay the night because her power went out in the storm.

Spinoff
By Jack Sharkey
Peter Colton, a bank official, unwittingly comes home with the loot from a bank robbery masterminded by Willy Nicholas, his superior at the bank. Willy, frantic to retrieve the money, enlists Peter’s services to help him find it, with the help of Victoria Wickey, Peter’s secretary. Meantime, Laurel Colton, Peter’s daughter, has found the loot and erroneously supposes it is her father who has robbed the bank. So she enlists the aid of her boyfriend, Carlos Ortega, whose uncle is a retired forger of passports, to help her father flee the country. But the arrival of Sheila Mahoney, a travel agent who is helping Peter plan a surprise vacation to Rio for Laurel, complicates matters even further, since she thinks Victoria is married to Willy and planning a honeymoon in Rio for the two of them. By the time Victoria shows up with the passports for the surprise vacation, Willy shows up with his passport and Victoria’s for a quick escape, and Carlos shows up with a pair of forged passports to help Laurel and Peter escape. Everybody is in an ungodly mess, the police may close in any minute, all concerned are fearfully mistaken about everyone else’s motives and loyalties, and doom, shame, and prison stare them all in the face.

Unnecessary Farce
By Paul Slade Smith
Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. In this riotous farce, there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who has the money, who hired a hit man and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.
A laugh-out-loud cocktail of misunderstandings, revelations and unexpected arrivals, Unnecessary Farcecreates a crime caper where the long arm of the law will have you rolling in the aisles. If it ever figures out which direction to point, that is!
