Native Uprising

This MSW story takes Jessica Fletcher to British Columbia where she's stuck in the Northwest woods awaiting transportation. There's a struggle going on between the Indian tribe of the area and a mining company headed by Ernie Lively who want to screw up the environment with yet another of their dredging operations.

Lawyer Graham Greene has sued on behalf of the Indians before and won and has a temporary injunction against Lively. But there are younger tribesmen who want a more direct approach and maybe one of them took it when Lively isn't so lively any more.

The law here is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but Ana Alicia is in civvies as she works on this case with of course Angela Lansbury's help. They didn't have Mounties looking like her in Nelson Eddy's day.

Nicely done story with good photography of the area.
