Murder at the Orient Express is a whodunit spoof on the Agatha Christie classic (Murder On the Orient Express). The scene of the crime is a Chinese restaurant run by Irish sisters Mary and Molly McGregor. The story becomes as spicy as kung pao chicken when you add an ever-angry German-speaking waitress, an IRS agent, a cross-dressing Marine general and a pro-wrestler. Here to crack the case is not-so-sharp private eye Dudley Sharpe.
