What is Corpse de Ballet about?

Exercise maven, former dancer, and part-time ballet reviewer Toni Ney is on hand when Vova Izlomin, a Russian *premier danseur* with more genius than manners, makes his triumphant return to the stage. Not many tears are shed, however, when Izlomin's glittering, lifeless body is found swinging from a rope backstage in between acts. Inspector Anthony Torrent enlists Toni's help in understanding the eccentric behavior of the ballet dancers, whose talent is exceeded only by their gift for bickering and backstabbing among themselves. Toni's boyfriend, Eric Skeets, a freshly minted second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, also lends a hand while he awaits orders sending him to the European front. Eric is also pressing Toni to marry him but iS dismayed when Toni becomes hopelessly smitten with a suave playboy publisher. Romance is also blooming at Toni's apartment, where her cat Tom Jones is making amorous advances at a visiting sleek, dark little vixen named Cleo. The noise made by the pair's lovemaking is drawing complaints from the neighbors, but when the murderer comes to pay Toni an unwanted visit, Cleo valiantly rises to the occasion and does her bit to save the day.
