We return to Cabot Cove, and even we're a little surprised there's a coffin so quickly.  But what really shakes things up is when that coffin is opened most indelicately —it contains the wrong corpse!

So much mayhem ensues, with blueberry stains and lead pipes and oddly formative burial sites in tow.  It's IF A BODY MEETS A BODY, a Jessica Fletcher mystery that brings our tenacious investigator (Angela Lansbury) into the business of all her neighbors, with the local doctor (William Windom) and the sheriff (Tom Bosley) looking for the missing dead(?) man and a whole lot of money stolen from the townspeople.

We, naturally, must look to the wife (Carrie Snodgress), the mistress (Audrey Landers), and the business partner (Monte Markham) as our easily assumed perpetrators; but there's no shortage of possibilities when we can implicate the undertaker (Robert Donner), an intrepid nonconformist in tight jeans (Rex Smith), and the couple who wants to pull out of the shady investment deal (Anne Jeffreys and Robert Sterling) at just the worst possible moment.

When our missing dead body winds up... found and still dead... the mystery thickens like a New England chowder, and soon the money also appears to turn up in less than pristine condition.  Will this lead to the ruin of the small town's residents?  Find out with Viktor and Petra on TONIGHT ON MURDER, SHE WROTE.
