Plot Summary
During the garter toss at Brenda and Eddie’s Wedding Reception, a mysterious man falls dead on the dance floor from a gun shot. Luckily, the bride’s father, the wealthy, Harold Montague, invited damage control expert, Mr. Parker to the event. Parker tries “spinning” the murder as “nothing to worry about”. But, society columnist, Mary Berger insists “something be done”. This could be the “Society Scandal” of the year. Not only was a man shot during the garter toss, but it seems that the mysterious dead man has ties to both the groom and bride’s family. Both sides have secrets that they do not wish to reveal. None the less, the wedding party continues as planned, and the murder mystery takes a back seat…..for a while.
