Neil Simon's Rumors chronicles the 10th wedding anniversary of a high-ranking New York City official and his wife. However, the happy occasion soon sours -- the deputy mayor shoots himself in the head, (no need to worry, it's just a flesh wound), his wife is missing and his lawyer, a guest at the party, decides it's time for a cover-up. More guests arrive and soon nobody can remember who has said what about whom. The cover-up unravels in a storm of slamming doors and hilarity.
