The Mousetrap, which holds the Guinness world record for longest continuous run of any show, has been running in London for over sixty years. A contractual stipulation states that no filmed version can be made until the show has been closed for six months. This is why no movie exists. The title references ‘Hamlet” in which Hamlet cryptically calls the play depicting the murder of a king, ‘The Mousetrap’.
Seven people are trapped in Monkswell Manor, a guest home isolated by a snowstorm. Soon a police detective arrives and relates that a murdered woman was once resident of a nearby house. A few years back, the courts sent several children there for care and protection. The murdered woman had abused those children. A note left on her body claimed that there were “three blind mice” who would be murdered and Monkswell Manor is also mentioned in the note. Sgt. Trotter believes that someone at the manor had a connection with the murder victim. Each of the stranded occupants denies having any knowledge.
