A esto, se le añade el regreso de la Princesa Nirvena, la antigua estrella del espectáculo, quien tuvo un affair con el jefe. Toda esta situación se convierte en una verdadera intriga, en el momento en que aparecen asesinadas las dos competidoras de Dixie, convirtiéndose está en la principal sospechosa.
