On July 4th 1957, the largest nuclear bomb was detonated in the United States, 60 miles from Las Vegas.

The Honey Trap is a reversal of fortune tale about a corrupt ex-Air Force Colonel who checked into “Frank Sinatra’s” room at a Las Vegas Hotel the night before an the Atomic Bomb test. He is joined by a showgirl, a Bell Hop, and his “Miss Guided Missel” Russian spy secretary. The party had just begun when an F.B.I. agent shows up. She is Japanese. Before the chauvinistic Colonel can work his oily charms on agent MK, his wife shows up unexpectantly.
The Atomic Bomb test is a success, but it alters the lives of everyone involved. In Act 2, the Colonel and his spy secretary return as ghosts.
