Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** Trying to have everything go right for his teenage daughter rock music superstar Kaitlynn Parrish's, Heather McAdam, wedding honcho talent agent to the stars Max Parrish, Ronny Cox, gets the shock of his life when his mentally disturbed former business partner and the groom's Gary Hawke, Adam Storke, uncle Alonzo Hawkes, Beau Starr, burst into the wedding hall and crashed the party making a complete jerk of himself in public. The very disturbed and unpredictable Alonzo, also known as Lou, had been in the state pen for a criminal assault conviction for the last three years! Unknown to Max as well as Alonzo's savagely beaten, by him, niece Hannah, Linda Blair, who's a guest at the wedding Alonzo had been given an early release by the appeals court!

Frantically waving an envelope and accusing Max of every crime in the book including embezzling his talent agency Alonzo is immediately belted in the jaw and knocked out cold by one of the wedding security man Dave Tyanan, Michael McGrady,and then taken away unconscious to an outer room away from the wedding ceremony. It's later when Max goes into the room to check on Alonzo's condition he finds him stabbed to death with his daughter,the bride,standing over him with her snow white wedding dress and gloves covered with Alonzo's blood and a bloody knife at her feet.

Perry Mason,Raymond Burr, a guest at the wedding and the bride Kaitlynn's favorite uncle gets on the case right away by him and his private secretary, also a wedding guest, Della Street, Barbara Hale, finding a false reporter ID pass on the floor that belonged to a Kaitlynn Parrish groupie Suzy Richards, Merle Kennedy, who tried to crash the wedding party. As things turned out in all this confusion Suzy was hiding in a closet and very possibly saw whoever murdered Alonzo Hawke!

The movie starts to get really complicated, if it wasn't complected enough already, with its story going into a number of unrelated incidents involving the late Alonzo's unsavory past in him stealing $250,000 worth of bootleg audio tapes, of Kaitlynn latest album, from the mob. Mistaking Perry's leg man and private investigator Ken Malansky, William R. Moses, for Alonzo almost has him knocked off by the mob who seemed to have not heard or read the latest news reports on Alonzo's murder! That's even after Malansky proved to the mob hit-men, who obviously weren't provided with a photo of Alonzo, that he wasn't the person whom they were after!

***SPOILERS*** Things start to look real bad for the accused Kaitlynn Parrish when her father Max is forced to admit in court that he's under investigation in the embezzlement of some $250,000.00 from his talent agency giving his daughter who said in public that she would do anything to keep her father's name from being dragged through the mud by a creep like Alonzo a perfect motive for his murder! Perry uncovers a complected plan of stealing $250,000.00 from Max's talent agency and then having him framed for it! The plan falls apart when one of the conspirators gets a bit too greedy for his own good by grabbing all the loot, after knocking off Alonzo, at the expense of his partner! what Alonzo's killer never expected was that the stolen cash was secretly marked with invisible dye, that's seen under ultraviolet light, that he unknowingly ended up marking himself with. It's later after he got his greedy hands on the money that he ended up cooking his goose when Perry shined the light, ultraviolet light, of truth on him in a hushed up and darkened courtroom!
