Murder, She Wrote: Steal Me a Story (1987)
Season 4, Episode 8
4/10
Imagine that, plagiarism in Hollywood
1 August 2017
On a book tour in Los Angeles Jessica Fletcher is informed that producers Bradford Dillman and Ken Swofford have ordered aspiring writer Kim Miyori to steal on of the Fletcher plots for their medical TV series.

Miyori has aspirations of doing her own original work does not want to start as a hack TV writer who steals to make a career. What she's so concerned about is beyond me since that is what television is all about is beyond me. Still Angela Lansbury gets involved.

Even more after a package is opened by Ken Swofford and he's killed with a bomb explosion. As Swofford was a thoroughly unpleasant person there's no shortage of suspects. But it's Miyori the LAPD settles on.

Of course they're wrong and JB Fletcher and Detective Yaphet Kotto with some tricks of their own bring down the culprit, literally.

Couldn't see what everyone was so upset over with this story.
