Episode 2

Charles is playing a butler in a reality show set in a manor house on a remote island when the controversial comic hosting the show is murdered.

Maurice鈥檚 production of reality show 鈥楳urder in the Park鈥� seems doomed from the start when the host is murdered and the police take in the production assistant for questioning. Maurice is convinced she鈥檚 innocent and calls upon Charles to do some investigating. Charles soon discovers there are plenty of reasons why the other celebrity contestants might want the controversial comic dead.
