The Real Inspector Hound is a parody of murder mysteries onstage, featuring plays within plays and twists within twists. Critics Moon and Birdboot attend a whodunnit at the theatre. Moon is standing in for a more successful critic, whom they dream of usurping. Birdboot seems more interested in attracting female actors with promises of stardom. However, not all is as it seems, and the two critics are dragged into the action onstage. You’d be a madman to miss the madman!
