Slick and sly entrepreneur, Gene Fowley is bad medicine, putting club owner Russell, under presssure to rid the club of rock and roll. It's a chain reaction of head games, rebel yells, and backlash once someone is found murdered down on Fascination Street. Of course, nosy investigative reporter, Depeche Deville, from The Rolling Rock, knows that every rose has its thorn and this one murder mystery that she intends to prune. So bang your head and walk this way to "Murder at the Hop," where everyone wants to rock and roll all night and party every day. It's guaranteed to rock you like a hurrricane!
