The Best Laid Plans
by Fred Carmichael
Synopsis
This an unusual comedy about spies stars Ada Westbrook, an elderly Ian Fleming type author, who is called upon to act as a liaison between our government and enemy powers.
During her Caribbean vacation, a spy dies in Ada's house.
He has on him secret plans every government is after and since the plans are on the body everyone tries to steal it.
And it's moved all over the place until no one knows where it is.
When the body's twin brother shows up there's even more complications.
Who's dead, who's alive?
Who is the Mr. Big behind it all?
Farce, comedy, satire and excellent acting opportunities make it highly recommended for all groups.
