Encore! Encore! presents Seven Keys to Baldpate, a melodramatic farce complete with mystery, crooked politicians, bribe money, blackmail, true love, betrayal, double cross, a reporter's news scoop, and a friendly wager. A best selling author plans to win a bet by writing a novel in less than 24 hours. Seeking solitude, he goes to a summer resort in the dead of winter, but his stay at The Baldpate Inn is interrupted by a steady stream of visitors, each bearing "the only key to Baldpate in existence".
