There was a crime in a cabaret. And maybe even more than one.

Crime in the café-concert is both a comedy and a detective anti-totalitarian allegory set in a Prague's old cabaret. The star is a local singer who has fallen in love with the Minister of Justice. The plot revolves around the theft of a necklace of pearls and the murder of a juggler. A busybody employee is immersed in the web of intrigue with a law student.—jsanchez
