Mystery Science Theater 3000: MUNCHIE Rewatch Season 13, Episode 4

The police assumed that the victim was a prominent financier, but Lord Peter Wimsey, who dabbled in mystery detection as a hobby, knew better. In this, his first murder case, Lord Peter untangles the ghastly mystery of the corpse in the bath.< [more inside]
