In the very beginning of this first show of season six of McMillan&Wife it is mentioned there was no longer a wife. It is told us that Susan Saint James was killed in a plane crash. Nancy Walker left the show as well and Rock Hudson new housekeeper is Martha Raye her sister. So the shows of this last season have Hudson involved with a new girl friend each show.
This show has Jessica Walter a tennis pro who had married a millionaire and retired. Now she's a widow and has gone back on the tennis circuit because she didn't get as much as she thought she would in the inheritance. Some of her last solid assets were her jewels and remember Marilyn Monroe's advice about diamonds being a girl's best friend.
Those go in a well executed robbery with Walter the victim of an extortion where she believes her stepson Jeffrey Byron is kidnapped for ransom. Of course he shows up late at a planned appointment having no idea what was going on.
If mystery is the key there was no mystery involved because I knew almost from the start who among a list of suspects that includes Byron, Norman Alden, Dick Haymes, Jason Evers, and even police lieutenant Dane Clark of the Las Vegas PD was the brains. Two accomplices wind up dead and one wounded. Even Walter herself is suspected.
But any watcher of mysteries can tell you also who the culprit is. Never good for a mystery.
