Whatever Happened To Mrs. Kong?
by Fred Carmichael
Synopsis
Kong keeps them laughing and "Carmichael scores again" were newspaper headlines following the summer theatre opening.
Adam and his mute servant, Felix, are on a decaying movie set on a tropical island following an accident that gave Adam two things: amnesia and a suitcase full of money.
Three women arrive pretending they know him, one as grandfather, one as husband, and a sexy Russian defector says he is father to her love child.
When the U. S. President arrives, it is clear they are all after a nuclear device being exploded the next day.
The bomb is parachuted down and hangs over their heads, having gotten caught in a hole in the ceiling.
The unexpected denouement caps an evening where we take a comic look at ourselves as we wait for the ultimate explosion.
