When wheelchair-stuck English tourist June Anderson is found strangled, even cool Poole can't help instinctively suspecting her husband Doug, a bully who pestered 'Dick' while they were London cops and investigated a never solved similar case. He has an alibi and the heir is her clumsy sister Janice Palmer, who missed out of their father's fortune after driving during the accident that lamed June, but there is a catch. Dwayne's clingy ex-date Estelle Du Bois regularly stole from the rented villa, including the fish that poisoned her cat and gave her young English employers, ex-con mates Will Teague and Ronnie Stuart, food poisoning, apparently disabling them at the murder time. Only after digging in Doug's past, Poole connects crimes and sets a trap.
