Synopsis by Hal Erickson
A deaf couple is ambushed, and the husband is fatally shot. As he lies dying, the man conveys his last words to his wife via sign language--thereby giving Huntern(Fred Dryer) the only clue (an extremely thin one) as to the killer's identity. With the help of a police interpreter, Hunter interrogates the three most likely suspects--the wife, a jealous brother and a disgruntled suitor--who like victim are all deaf. As it turns out, however, the dead man's vast art collection holds the key to unlocking the mystery. This episode was adapted from a novel by H. Edward Hunsberger, a master in the realm of "locked-room" whoddunits.
