The enchanting story of Essie Whimple, a rather plain girl with a hyperactive imagination, provides the basis for a rare murder mystery musical and an impressive star turn for a captivating “triple-threat” performer. When a young actress has been murdered in early 1900s London, the enterprising Simpson Sisters' Waxworks installs a tableau of the grisly deed. The exhibit offends muscle-bound actor Tom Baxter, who considered the deceased actress to be like a kid sister – and with whom the Simpsons’ excitable niece Essie promptly falls in love. Determined to see Tom again, Essie pretends she's been attacked by the murderer, and so begins a romantic, fast-paced adventure involving cunning disguises, spine-tingling chases, startling visions, an ill-fated show at the Odeon Music Hall, and a cold-blooded killer on the loose… not to mention some great songs and high-spirited dancing!
