Murder Mystery on the Train

Howard and Jan Miller from San Diego, CA and John Chlupsa from New London, CT came down for a visit in the sunshine of Florida. One night we went on a train ride for a Murder Mystery and a dinner.
It was run by the Florida Railroad Museum which has several old passenger cars which were filled with participants and actors.
As the train chugged along through the Florida backwoods, the actors played out a murder mystery in which they included all the clues to who killed Veezel (a spy from Solobolonia who had stolen the national treasure - the Green Flem), how and why.
Before they gave all the clues they stopped the train for dinner. Catered by Sonny's BB, a noted barbecue chain - it was OK. They prohibited us from bringing any wine to have with dinner but luckily we found two coke bottle that were filled (or we filled) with something that looked like coke but tasted much better.
So as the murder mystery unfolded the actors went from car to car and performed some unconnected scenes which to me didn't mean anything.
At the beginning one of the actors came to me, had me stand up and threatened we with the "pinkie tae kwan toe" move which could bring instant death. I ignored it but Polly filed it away and when they asked us to identify the killer, mode of death and reason put it all together and said Etta did it with a "pinkie tae kwan toe" move because she wanted the valuable gem named the Green Flem. For her astuteness she won the top prize for our car. And the booby prize was awarded to Jan for the most absurd answer (I think it was for the best set of boobies.)
