This episode marks the debut on Ron Masak as Cabot Cove's new sheriff Mort
Metzger who little realizes that he's going to the per capita murder capital of
New England. And he also learns that he's got a great resource in Jessica
Fletcher living right there for help in these cases.
Clearly somebody had in mind the Brewster sisters of Arsenic And Old Lace when writing this episode. Two slightly daft old spinster sisters are played by Teresa Wright and Joan Leslie have Henry Jones boarding with them. He goes and dies on them and the two instead of telling the law decide to bury them in their garden.
But even they're surprised when a second unexpected body turns up in the same garden.
It all has to do with a payroll robbery that both the deceaseds were part of. Though he's not sure why Ron Masak goes with the flow and gets official credit for solving another Brink's type robbery and two murders. Though the murders and the robbery have only a most tenuous connection.
Truth be told for concealing Jones both these yankee spinsters could have been prosecuted. But Masak has a heart and you would too after seeing Wright and Leslie in these roles.
