Now she is coming home to head up the local beauty pageant and who better to co-chair the event than Fortune Redding, the faux former beauty queen. When Pansy ends up dead, Redding knows it is just a matter of time before her cover is blown unless she and her two local friend, Ida Belle and Gertie, can solve the mystery quickly.
