William Lucking's greasy spoon diner is losing business bad to Alan Young's
new eatery at the Joshua Peabody Inn. But when Angela Lansbury, William
Windom and Tom Bosley sit down for breakfast there, an epidemic of food
poisoning breaks out. It's quite a scene when Doc Hazlitt is summoned to
patient after patient. One of them loses her life.
All three of our Cabot Cove citizens have to put up with the nosy and officious Anne Francis who I'm not sure is with the Maine Health Department or the Center For Disease Control. Wherever she is from, Francis guards her turf
zealously and airily dismisses Jessica Fletcher as a 'crisis' hound.
Someone put something nasty in the home made strawberry preserves the
restaurant serves. As you can imagine the task is to find who it was intended
for. Not a job for Francis, but for JB Fletcher.
She does her job well.
