Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Long believed to be dead, bank robber Ned Jinks (Donnelly Rhodes) returns to Cabot Cove after twenty years in hopes of visiting his daughter Bonnie (Claudia Christian). Not only must Ned face the hostility of the local citizenry, but he is also slapped with a murder charge when one of his oldest enemies is knocked off. Exercising her prerogative as Bonnie's friend and neighbor, Jessica (Angela Lansbury) attempts to find out who is really the guilty party.
