Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Greta Bayer (Audrey Landers), Marla Hastings (Katherine Olsen), and Harley Foote (Michael Zelniker) debate whether or not to see a new movie in town. Harley says that the movie received "one thumb up, one thumb down". This refers to the popular film critics (Gene) Siskel & (Roger) Ebert and their well-known method of reviewing movies. Then, Greta comments that the film was a "3 for looks, on a scale of 1 to 10". This is a reference to the song "Dance 10, Looks 3" from "A Chorus Line," sung by Greta's portrayer Audrey Landers as "Val" in the 1985 movie adaptation.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, Ellen Levering mistakenly refers to Greta as Ms. Bayers (with an 's').

[last lines]
Pete Levering: Ever wonder why Soldier kept picking on McGrath's ranch and none of the others?
[pulls blanket off of a basket to show a litter of puppies]
Jessica Fletcher: [laughs] Oh!
Pete Levering: [as a pair of dogs enter] That's Rosemary. She's the mother and she belongs to McGrath.
Howard Levering: Well, it looks like Soldier had a good reason for roaming, huh?
Jessica Fletcher: Well, I'd say he had a-a-a bunch of reasons!

Track of a soldier
Jessica is on vacation in the Teton Mountains to meet her friend Greta, at the hotel of Colonel Howard Levering (Ret.) Greta's abusive ex-boyfriend Frank Nichols is in the area with his girlfriend Marla, scheming to steal a diamond Greta inherited. Nichols also has a beef with Colonel Levering, who was the commander of Nichols and his brother while they were in the army, and threatens to raise an old scandal, to the alarm of Levering, his wife Ellen, son Pete and assistant Juan. Greta is also being romanced by Harley Foote, the secretary of Myra's Meal Ticket Arthur Jennings, with Harley re-evaluating his life after a fateful call from his doctor. And Pete's dog Soldier is in trouble after being seen around a farm where livestock has been killed. Then, the diamond disappears and Nichols turns up dead.
A hot babe escaping her violent ex, a man dying of a disease, diamond stolen, a war hero with a past, and a victim stabbed - all these feature in a diverting episode. Formula works, and Jessica catches the murderer at the end, after the wrong person gets arrested.
