Richard Diamond – Joyce Wallace. ep45, 500312

A security guard dressed in a dark uniform is reaching for his sidearm, which is holstered on his right hip. He stands in front of a brick wall, with his left hand resting on his belt. His facial expression suggests a state of high alertness and readiness to act in case of any threat or danger.

Lighthearted moments on a phone call with his gal Hellen are interupted when a client needs help from Dick Diamond to investigate a murder. Joyce Wallace is a wealthy woman who convinces Richard to check out the crime scene. He does, but takes the matter to the cops.

Things get complicated when Joyce has a close call with a deadly snake. How did it get in there? Who is trying to kill her? How does it fit with the gunshot that was taken at her earlier? A boyfriend, and a husband are located, but does either have any motive to kill her?

The goofy case isn’t without twists, and Richard is up for unraveling the mystery. Not only does he solve the attempts at murder, but he plays matchmaker to reconcile Joyce and her husband. Later with Hellen to croon to, Richard sings, If I Knew You WereComing I’d Have Baked a Cake.
