Episode Summary

[x] Remove Ad
The estate of bird lover Mrs. Wentworth Howe has been held in trust for ten years, as her will stipulated that her money would not be distributed to surviving family as long as any of the birds in her aviary remained alive. When one of the birds is shot dead, Jeff is hired to investigate if a family member might be getting impatient for their share of the estate. Jeff soon has a bigger problem on his hands as family members gathered at the Howe mansion are murdered.

Episode Notes

Jeff: Ah, here we are. "Rinstad. A poisonous resin obtained from diseased tree bark."

The name of the poison is apparently fictitious.

Episode Quotes

Jeff: (waking up) What happened?
Marty: Nothing much. Only another murder.
Jeff: Oh, is that....WHAT? Who?
Marty: Not "who," Howe, Mrs., in the aviary.

(After Marty spells out a message)
Peter: Make any sense, Carol?
Carol: I don't know. It's funny spelling.
Marty: "Funny spelling"? It's your handwriting, madam!

Episode Goofs

Jeff: Take a look in all the visitors' rooms, especially Mrs. Howe's.

Jeff is saying this as he and Marty are leaving the aviary, but Jeff's lips clearly are not moving.

Jeff begins searching library books for the name of the poison, then suddenly knows which poison he's looking for when he switches books.

The dart that "passes through" Marty can be seen stuck in the door facing before Laverick shoots.

The dart that kills Laverick at the end of the episode is obviously not stuck in the palm of his hand.
