Description
Lord Belfrey of Mucklesfeld Manor has decided to save his crumbling establishment by offering himself as the prize on a TV reality show, but after one of his potential brides is shot during an archery contest, Ellie Haskell begins to explore the dark passageways and hidden nooks of Belfrey's delightfully Gothic estate--unprepared for the secrets lurking behind closed doors.Tags

On their way home, Ben, Ellie and Roxie Malloy stray into a reality show in a spooky, unkempt mansion with the full compliment of weird characters. This is the sort of loony menage that Cannell does best.
Ellie gets caught up in a reality show, but it's not very interesting.
