When the Tin Man dies during Morgan Valley Community Theater's closing performance of "The Wizard of Oz," Lucy Lambert's dream job as stage manager is on the chopping block as well. When the police blame her poor safety procedures for the death, she's determined to prove herself competent. In the process, though, she uncovers evidence the actor was indeed murdered and becomes the killer's next target. Handsome veterinarian, Cade Winston, doubts Lucy even when he finds Toto has been poisoned, but then events unfold behind the curtains, and Lucy and Cade work together to lure out the culprit bent on framing Lucy for the Tin Man's demise and axing her as well.
