Sequel to A Puzzle for Fools

Reformed alcoholic Peter Duluth is trying to make a comeback on Broadway as the producer-director of a script by a newly-discovered playwright. But a deadly drama is being enacted in the reportedly-jinxed and long-uninhabited Dagonet Theater. Apparitions are seen in dressing-room mirrors; rats are set free beneath the boards; and the celebrated coffin scene is played with unfortunate and unwanted realism.
Offstage an all-star cast has been assembled. Behind the scenes, a beautiful ghost, a man without a face, and a phantom saboteur are vying for the lead.
