Two 1940’s-type cops, in trench coats and Dick-Tracy hats, investigate a street murder, where the body has been chopped into pieces, but his head is missing. They try to figure out where the head could be but there are no clues. Enter a Femme Fatale, who seems to be a witness to the murder, but she diverts from their questions sucking them into her mysterious relationship to the victim, who has been ID’d by his prints as a Wealthy, Famous Politician and Psychopath that has ruined countless lives for self-gain. The characters explore the battleground between existential truths versus deceptions, order and disorder, at war within the culture and that twists and displaces balance. The two cops realize that when the heads out of whack, so is the body. They find the head, hidden under a seat in the audience; it is a grotesque clown-like mess representing the mind that leads our world, the state of the human condition, etc. The crime is solved, but the revelation on how the victim was killed is both eye-opening, and surprising, with mind-spinning revelations and spectacle that is both hilarious at times, and terrifyingly real.
