In many ways, the plot to "Mr. Penroy's Vacation" seems to have been inspired by the old film, "Arsenic and Old Lace". This is because both have a pair of sweet old ladies who MIGHT be murderers!
A man rooming with the Appletree sisters has been found dead...buried in their yard. Soon after, another guy is found buried in their yard. While the Appletrees (Teresa Wright and Joan Leslie) are clearly up to something....what they exactly did and didn't do is to be determined. However, unlike previous Cabot Cove episodes, Sheriff Tupper has resigned and a new sheriff is there to work with Miss Fletcher.
This is generally an enjoyable episode, but like some of the weaker episodes, the baddies just keep admitting to their crimes to Miss Fletcher when there wasn't enough evidence to force such a confession.
