Terrific... Shocking... Scandalous...

Comedy

Nigel Dennis publishes a scandal magazine. But for each story he writes, he first approaches the person whose scandalous behavior is described (or rather implied, to avoid any libel suit) and says he will suppress the story in return for money. Several of his victims first decide individually to kill him instead of paying, but fail in amusing ways. Then they find that to protect their various secrets they must now join forces for a rather different purpose...

VIBE

A sharp, cynical satire on the sensationalist press and the desperate measures people take to protect their secrets. It's a darkly funny look at greed and morality, filled with witty dialogue and absurd situations.
