"The Butler Did It Again" is a murder mystery spoof with thinly disguised characters from the classic murder mystery genre. There's Miss Maple, a faux Miss Marple; Mrs. Danvers, the despised housekeeper in Daphne du Maurie's Rebecca; Rick and Laura Carlyle, based on the charming Nick and Nora Charles of The Thin Man; Chandler Marlowe, a combination of the famous mystery writer, Raymond Chandler, and the detective he created, Philip Marlowe; Louie Fan, a knock-off Charlie Chan; Tony Tallchief, based on native-American novelist, Tony Hillerman; and Ruth Dice, loosely based on Anne Rice, the queen of the vampire tale. This group gathers for a weekend mystery party in an old Louisiana manse. Unexpected guests, petty jealousies, and an escaped sanatorium patient set the stage for comedic catastrophe. Actors are Shandra Burnett, Keith Collins, Janet McInturff, Anne Roza, Kendra Gross, Rob Inman, Don Strickland, Sandy McCrea, Tim Forsythe, Eric Schubert, Lee Abelson and DeDe Young.
