After getting an unsigned letter and then almost being run down in the mean
streets of New York, Joan Caulfield decides to have her old friend Jessica Fletcher
go to Eden, Oregon. Angela Lansbury agrees, but she goes as Joan Caulfield.
The unsigned letter tells tells Jessica Fletcher to be real concerned if she hears a
report of her sister's death. Sure enough that's what has happened and arriving
in Eden she finds the deceased owned a place that truly made it heavenly for
some, a brothel not unlike the one in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas or
what James Stewart inherited in The Cheyenne Social Club.
But the deceased also had a fine line in blackmail of some of the town's leading citizens. It's a question of who wanted her dead the most.
In addition to Joan Caulfield for whom this was a farewell role such other leading lights of yesterday's cinema like Stuart Whitman and Macdonald Carey
also appear.
I will say this, the perpetrator is exactly whom you want it to be.
