- Someone is found dead after the engagement party for the offspring of two estranged comics.
- Mack Howard and Murray Gruen were a celebrated comical duo but parted in anger. Murray's daughter, Corrie, brings their friend Jessica along to his own Hiawatha lodge for her and Mack's son Kip Howard's engagement dinner. Murray, however, makes a scene, claiming Mack stole a fortune in royalties on videos of the duo, denied by Mack and his business manager who claims there is no profit. Then Murray is stabbed in the back and suggests he only saw a color, that of Mack's robe. Later, Murray's agent, Phil Rinker, is found hanging in the storeroom, suicide according to a note. The sheriff being sick, his only deputy, local youngster Wylie Ledbetter, now proud Acting Police Chief, is delighted as a mystery fan to have Jessica coach his forensics and interviews, but startled when she proves by measurements it must have been a murder, staged as suicide. Jessica next concludes from a peephole the stabbing was a separate mischief, then proves it by setting a trap for Phil's killer.—KGF Vissers
- A once famous comedy team, Mack Howard and Murray Gruen, are reunited when their children get engaged. They haven't spoken since they broke up the act years before. They blame each other for a lot of things, including cheating the other on the royalties from the video sales of their old TV show. Those around them hope that their children's marriage will bring about a reconciliation but the engagement party at Murray's soon to open rural inn proves otherwise. It all becomes deadly serious however when someone stabs Murray in the back, literally, and when Jessica finds the body of their former agent Phil Rinker hanging in the pantry, an apparent suicide.—garykmcd
