When Biff arrives in Las Vegas

to fill in for fellow comedian Tiger

Moore. he finds his old friend is now a fresh

corpse. The murderer has left a mocking

message on the wall of the hotel room where

Tiger s body was found: GET OFF TIlE STAGE.

YOU SUCK.

This is the mark of the man reporters

nickname the Heckler, after the term stand-

up comics use for someone who delights in

iaunting performers during their act. Biff

tracks the killer to Hollywood. where he

hooks up with Tiger s friend the hot sitcoln

star Louie Baxter--and the one person who

might have a clue as to who the Heckler is.

Biff finds that years ago Louie and Tiger

stood by as an angry mob brutally beat a

young comedian named Chad Karp almost

to death, scarring his face and crushing his

vocal cords. Is the Heckler really Chad, now

back for revenge? Louie funds Biffs efforts

as an unofficial investigator, trusting that

only another comedian can possibly learn

the truth.

Biff tracks the IIeclder from Ilollywood

back to Las Vegas and through the north-

west. finding that Chad Karp was !eft a bit-

ter. vengeful shadow. But is he the tteekler?

And is Biff his next tqrget?
