Plot
The scene takes place in a male striptease club of Los Angeles, where the performers are being murdered by an unknown female assailant.
There are multiple suspects: Morganna King, the owner of the club; Lilah Corbett, the club's promot and the head stripper, who has mysteriously disappeared after being fired.
Unable to gain a lead, investigating officer Lt. Cavanaugh goes undercover as a stripper in an attempt to trap the murderer, eventually starring in the titular "Ladykillers" show, but he is almost killed in the process.
