Synopsis

This play is a Mystery Dinner Theater that can be enjoyed by anyone in your church. After the play has been performed members of the audience are asked to solve the mystery. Then the true solution is revealed and all will enjoy finding out what happens to the characters in the future.

Years of devoted experimentation by one of the world's greatest inventors has finally yielded a gold mine. The most incredible invention that the world has ever known was just invented a few days ago. No, it's not a new airplane, nor is it a computer; it's not a beauty product, but a cookie. That's right, a cookie. But this is no ordinary cookie. This is the most incredible breakthrough in cookie technology since a baker accidentally spilled bits of chocolate into his batch of cookies, creating what the world would come to know as chocolate chip cookies.

A man named Professor Keebler has created a cookie using only the finest all natural ingredients. This cookie is very delicious and absolutely free of fat and cholesterol. But the best part of this incredible invention is that each cookie contains only 10 calories. Its impact on the diet trends of the world will be revolutionary, not to mention that its creation may lead to the development of other similar snack products.

These cookies are literally worth billions of dollars to their owner.

There is only one problem. The only recipe in existence resides in the mind of the creator, Professor Keebler, who is now suffering from a severe case of amnesia. His amnesia was the direct result of being hit on the head while he was being robbed. Before he was robbed he only had enough time to make a single batch, one dozen of these amazing cookies, but they were taken during the robbery that caused his amnesia.

There is to be a national cookie convention in town and the thief is believed to be there trying to sell the stolen cookies. Can the investigators find the cookies before they leave the building? Will Professor Keebler get the financial reward due him? Will all of the cookies be eaten before they can be duplicated? The only way to find out is to read this play.

This play will make a great church fund raiser or fellowship dinner, or it can be used by a school as a special assembly.
