The new Joshua Peabody Inn restaurant has just opened and the owner soon has a serious problem on his hands....various customers have been poisoned...either by accidental food poisoning or not. So, Jessica decides to investigate and determines that a jar of strawberry preserves are missing from the restaurant. Oddly, the very haughty health inspector (Anne Francis) completely dismisses this even though none of the items found in the restaurant were contaminated. What REALLY is happening here and why?
The story is very well written...with no noticeable plot holes or inconsistencies. Instead, it's solid, exciting and has a nice twist. Well worth seeing and one of the better episodes of "Murder, She Wrote".
