Near the Baltimare coast, stands the Timely Manor. Home of the eccentric, wealthy, and macabre Baroness Bronco Grimmane. It's Nightmare Night in war-time, and she's decided to put together a party the likes of which no one has seen before. She invites the world's greatest sleuths to solve the perfect crime.

A hundred years later to the day, the Timely Manor still stands and invitations have been sent to the appropriate addresses. Invitations in hoof, a motley assortment of scavengers decide to see what this party is all about. But it proves to be nothing as whimsical as once intended.
