více...We Interrupt This Program Because Of...MURDER!Frankie Ryan and his pal Jeff work respectively as a page boy and porter at a Hollywood radio station, although their real ambition is to perform comedy routines on the air. Their talent is not appreciated, however, and the duo is almost fired when they stage a fake audition for the benefit of Anne Mason, the station receptionist who aspires to be a singer. The management of the station is experiencing money problems with singer Rita Wilson, and the station owner and manager are deliberating about how to handle their tempermental singer when she is shot dead during a blackout at her rehearsal session. Police detectives Marty Philips and Delaney are unable to locate the gun, but believe that simpleton Tex Barton, a would-be singing cowboy who was sitting in the audience, is responsible, because he is now slipping out the rear door. Farrell, a producer at the station, is anxious that he not come under suspicion, and asks Frankie to stay quiet about an argument that he and Rita had prior to the murder. In return, Frankie extracts a promise from Farrell that he will audition Anne as a possible replacement for the dead singer. While rehearsing a comedy sketch with Jeff, Frankie discovers the murder weapon hidden in a ventilator duct. Later, while Frankie, in black face, and Jeff are auditioning for a comedy spot on the show, the police arrive looking for Tex, the owner of the gun, which had been used in a Cheyenne shooting involving a woman named Gladys Wharton. Before the police can arrest Tex, however, he is found murdered in the station owner's office. While Anne sings in Rita's place, Frankie and Jeff decide to search Tex's room for clues. There, they find a picture of Anne and a telegram that suggests she might be Gladys. Acting on the evidence, the police arrest Anne, but she is released on bail. Frankie then decides to check with a Cheyenne radio station about the shooting, and learns that Gladys Wharton was a blonde who left her husband Tex for a radio station executive. Because Anne is a brunette, Frankie decides that Rita must have been the missing Gladys. Using Frankie's information, the police assemble the radio executives together when Van Martin, the program announcer, confesses to the crimes. Jeff then opens a door, inadvertently knocking over the gun-bearing Van Martin and allowing his capture by the police.
