Finally Suzanne has something to handle
6 June 2022
It's her own gullibility for believing a con man who ends up murdered. She's conned into believing she will receive a big inheritance for being a descendant of Napoleon, but she doesn't recognize the con and doesn't tell her employers about it even after she catches onto the con. Instead, she goes to confront the con man, finds him murdered, and ends up being accused of the deed herself. Rex to the rescue, as Jeff and Stu are out of town.

Jacqueline Beer finally has a decent part and does it well. Stunned and frightened not only that she was conned and faces prosecution for the murder, but also afraid that her bosses will desert her, she falls apart. Rex and Kookie get her back together and track down the real murderer.

Early appearance by Dawn Wells, later of Gilligan's Island (and whom we lost to COVID recently), another victim of the conman and momentarily a suspect.
