Brandy Borne and her drama-queen mom, Vivian, take their
antiques show on the road, for an off-Broadway farce mixing
mirth and murder. A world away from small-town Serenity, the
ditsy duo--chaperoned by their trusty shih tzu,
Sushi--arrive in the Big Apple, blissfully unaware that they
will soon cross paths with a rotten-to-the-core killer.
As the dynamic dames descend upon a comic-book
convention--to sell a rare 1940s Superman drawing--Vivian
makes a show of keeping the valuable sketch locked to her
wrist in a briefcase. When an intruder breaks into their
hotel suite, they naturally suspect a felonious fan,
over-eager to acquire their artwork.
But this not-so-super villain proves less interested in the
Man of Steel than in stealing a man's life, as Brandy and
Mother stumble onto a murder victim impaled by a pen-shaped
award. Suspects ranging from comic-book collectors to crime
kingpins lead Brandy and Mother on a merry madcap Manhattan
misadventure, taking them from convention hall to strip
joint, from retirement home to precinct lock-up. Has the con
been conned by a killer? If so, only Brandy, Mother and
Sushi can stop this fatally foul funny-book fiend.
