Episode 2: She Gave Her Dead Husband's Pipe to a Hobo

We are back in Cabot Cove TONIGHT ON MURDER, SHE WROTE, and the weather is stormy! Viktor and Petra take on the recap of a three (four?) sisters' plot this side of King Lear.  Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) is feeling some kinda way when she arrives home to a stranger who's taken it upon himself to trim her hedges...in exchange for breakfast!  Find out about the man missing, the one who's washed ashore, and our illustrious guest handyman (and if they're all the same person!).  Will this mystery man be competition for Claude Akins as yet another crusty man in town who consistently finds himself in Jessica's kitchen?  And who did it?  Is it... ungrateful daughter number one, two, three, or four?  One of their suspicious love interests who shows up unexpectedly just in time to inherit?  One longshoreman or another?  Someone rocking a pink pump?  Or was it the boiled scrod all along?  We see Amos Tupper (Tom Bosley) take on a case for the first time, and entirely how useless he is in solving the crime.  Dack Rambo, Cassie Yates, Anne Lockhart, and Howard Duff join the cast for this episode, known as DEADLY LADY.
