Higgins is headed to the estate with several guests when a truck attempts to run their car over a cliff. One of the guests, Pamela Bates, is so frightened by the incident she decides to hire a private investigator snubbing Magnum's offer as an investigator. When Amy Salyer, another of the guests, leaves the estate, despite her fear over the previous day's incident, Magnum's curiosity is piqued. Magnum follows her to a business. When Salyer leaves, she is followed by a mysterious man. Magnum manages to track Salyer down, but not without dodging bullets from Salyer's pursuer. Back at the estate, Bates' private investigator has finally arrived. To Magnum's disbelief it is none other than mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher. Despite Magnum's skepticism regarding the ability of a novelist to help solve a real-life case, it's clear time is running out when an intruder takes a shot at an estate lunch.
