It's set in 1949, Dr. Black is hosing a dinner party for a select few guests at his mansion in the suburbs of New York; Colonel Mustard, Mrs Peacock, Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Reverand Green and Mrs White. The film opens with the dinner party; Dr Black has not been seen for a while, Miss Scarlett says that she will go and see where he’s got to. The dinner party continues, about 30 seconds later there is a scream heard outside, presumably omitted by Miss Scarlett.
The next scene fades in with the PI entering the dinning room and starts questioning the guests. The scene ends as the detective gets one of the characters to recount their version of events.
