Mystery Playhouse was a production of AFRS and hosted by Peter Lorrie.
Jerry is upset that a man keeps calling for Pam but hangs up on him. Once Pam gets home she tells about a strange little man who has been following her. Even the phone caller hangs up on her when she answers the phone. Before the North’s can leave, hoping to hide out somewhere else, a man knocks on their door but drops dead when they open the door. Who are the gangsters who are out to get them?
Hanging out in a bar, the North’s go unnoticed… mostly. It doesn’t take long before they are followed again. Can Pam and Jerry turn it around and do some following of their own? Their trail leads to Douglas Grant. Who is he, and why does he want to kill Pam? Jerry manages to distract the guard dogs and do some snooping to find freshly poured cement. Jerry also has reason to fish for evidence in the deepest parts of Long Island Sound.
Taking some deep dives, Jerry isn’t just hunting for oysters. Will it matter though, if Douglas catches the North’s red-handed in the moonlight? Playing the henchman, Pete, Jerry gets him to turn on his boss. There’s no honor among thieves and the North’s escape. On the ride home the details of the case are unraveled, and the matter of the stranger who followed Pam is solved.
Peter Lorrie returns to add a few comments in epilog, and we get a sneak preview of the show for next week.
