Blue Murder is about a serial killer in a clown mask who guns down filth peddlers in order to rid the worldβor at least Torontoβof sin. But Blue Murder is so much more than that.
Dan Blake is a golden-haired, square-jawed, smooth-operating, hard-nosed crime reporter. The serial killer calls Blake and threatens to continue the rampage until his demands are printed in the paper. The demands are clear: stop prostitution and pornography or else more innocentβor rather not-so-innocentβprostitutes and pornographers will get murdered.
Obviously this makes him an expert on serial killers. But deep down, the killer is scared, too. Blake and Rossey are on the case. Pornographers are gunned down in their own living rooms. A bomb is placed under a bed where a sex scene is being filmed. A warehouse filled with smut films is burned down.
At some point, a man and a woman wearing a cheerful yellow sundress go to a hotel room. The killer, of course, appears out of nowhere. What you eventually figure out is that the woman is a prostitute.
Eventually Blake and Rossey follow a series of leads that are needlessly complicated and tedious. They talk to one person who tells them to talk to another person who tells them to talk to another person. That person then tells them to talk to another person.
