[first lines]
Sally Wilson: Ever since I found out, I've been in shock.
Jessica Fletcher: Well, I can certainly understand that. When I was your age, I wanted desperately to be completely independent.
Sally Wilson: I wanna be a really good book editor.
Jessica Fletcher: And I wanted to be a good teacher.
Sally Wilson: Yeah, but your father didn't buy the school. Mine's negotiating to buy the publishing house.
Jessica Fletcher: Which would make him my publisher.
Sally Wilson: And my boss. Goodbye credibility. Once again, I'd be a rich kid dabbling in one of Daddy's companies.
- Banda sonoraMurder She Wrote Theme
Written by John Addison
Buck's mansion outside of town provides residence to the family away from their positions in the city.
Most of the action in this episode centers around the posh living quarters of Buck, his sister, Janine Foster (Rita Taggart); Janine's husband and Buck's business partner, George Foster (John Rubinstein), Buck's son and protégé, B.J. Wilson (Michael E. Knight); Buck's daughter, a book editor, Sally Wilson (Jessica Tuck); plus the family's domestic staff, Housekeeper Mrs. Oates (Louise Latham), and Chauffeur Carl Graham (Stephen Liska).
Her position as editor finds Sally's working directly with author Jessica "J.B." Fletcher (Angela Lansbury), during their times together in New York City, where she prefers to work out of Jessica's apartment rather than in Sally's office.
When Sally invites Jessica to the opening of Buck's Buckaroo Restaurant, they meet the relatives, as well as fortune teller Marika Valenti (Natalia Nogulich), who provides lounge entertainment.
But the next morning at Jessica's apartment, Sally receives notification that a family member is missing, so Sally invites Jessica to the mansion, to which Marika Valenti is also summoned to provide psychic assistance, to Sally's disapproval.
B.J.'s old friend, now Police Sergeant Tom Jarrow (John D'Aquino), also arrives to investigate, to receive Sally's mixed feelings, while Jessica, Marika and Tom join forces to search the property with remaining family members and staff on hand.
Sergeant Tom Jarrow may well stand in contention for the record as the most polite and soft-spoken law enforcement officer of the twelve seasons of "Murder, She Wrote," with his efficient professionalism and caring manners even though he remains true to form to the lion's share of "MSW" officers' practice of jumping to the wrong conclusion, and focusing upon an innocent suspect, when it is discovered that $150 million has been embezzled from the family corporation, and Jessica begins to discover bodies around the premises.
One body surfaces beneath a dry cistern, as predicted by Marika, and another turns up in the rear seat of a vintage automobile, hence this episode title "The Classic Murder."
The cast is rounded out by Deputy (Anthony S. Johnson); Molly, the Waitress at Buck's Buckaroo (Lisa Melilli); Scotland Yard Inspector Moss (Julian Barnes); and Phil, the Shipping Clerk (Charles Hoyes).
