“No Crime Like the Present,” is a campy comedy full of zany characters who could be described as a 1940s female Sam Spade meeting present-day television news. 

“The female anchorwoman on KDOA’s 6 o’clock news was on her way to the top and willing to step on anyone’s toes to get there,” a Ludlow Village Players news release states. “She made enough enemies to fill a phonebook and someone had enough! Yep, she was iced, and Mavis, private eye, is on the case.”
