One stormy night. One dead body. One missing diamond. Five ridiculous suspects. Detective Pierre Pierrot has a murder to solve — before he becomes the next victim.

One dark and stormy night, the owner of Ackerton Manor, the despicable Roger Ackerton, is murdered. Detective Pierre Pierrot is called in to solve the case, but all he has to go on is a dead body, a missing diamond, and five suspects, each of whom has a ridiculous motive. With the clock ticking, will Detective Pierrot solve the murder or become the next victim?

Murder at Ackerton Manor is a fun-loving spoof of Agatha Christie murder mysteries, where plot twists and mistaken identities make for a raucous night in the English Countryside. Seven characters are played by three actors in this fast-paced tribute to the Queen of Mystery.
