Murder on Stage

Poor Lloyd Boyd His ex-wife whom he loves persecutes him. His mother a woman so evil that she makes Lady Macbeth look like Mother Teresa victimizes him. His stepfather a gangster who smells like brass knuckles pursues him. His employer an inscrutable Chinese merchant wants to torture him. These and other wacky characters intrude into his desire to stay alive and regain the love of his ex-wife. Poor Lloyd is dismayed. (He also has a foot fetish but thats beside the point.) However while tossing his trash into a dumpster Lloyd happens to find a handwritten journal that relates the exploits of a self-assured adventurer and womanizer Lance Sterling. While periodically pausing to read a few pages of the journal he comes to admire Lance Sterling and in trying to emulate him he finds the courage to confront his tormentorseven his evil mother.
