Daniel Keel is a witty and pushy New York City press agent. He rubs elbows with the Sardi's sophisticates as well as the coffee shop chorus girls. With a big heart and thin wallet, he lends an eager helping hand whenever a client lands in trouble. And this time, he may regret it.
To clear his star comedian from a murder scandal - and to save himself thousands - Keel leaps into the hilarious and vicious mainstream of New York's comedy circuit to find a very unfunny murderer. What he finds are tough cops, lying stand-ups, a hot gossip columnist, a ruthless competitor, a second murder - and a killer punchline!
