Jessica Fletcher inherits an American Football team. Well a 4% share of it bequeath to her by a relative.
She then finds herself in a tug of war, as rivals offer her decent cash to buy her out. Phil Krueger owns 48% and seems to have been running the show. This includes plans to move the franchise out of town.
Krueger also has his own share of enemies, this includes injured footballer Zak Farrell (Bruce Jenner.) When Krueger is found drowned in a bath, Zak becomes the main suspect. He had earlier shouted in a party to sort things out with Kreuger and then stormed off.
However Jessica Fletcher is adamant that Zak could not be a killer. He has a sweet deaf daughter for a start!
There was some nifty detective work from Jessica, which mainly consisted of some photos conveniently left on display, allowing her to make a gambit.
