The police have gone over the scene of the homicide again and again, but the defense attorney feels something is still not right. She hires Bernie and Sally to see if they can track down more witnesses or new evidence.
Bernie's morbid fear of hospitals causes him to bring in Sally to investigate the circumstances of an old man's will. He has left a lot of money to the nurse, but did she exert undue influence?
When Sally and Bernie set up a stake-out on a hotel room, they spy some pretty unusual goings-on. What can they make of the little bits they can see? And who is the dangerous-looking man who is also spying on their quarry?
Sally's brother-in-law turns up on the run from gangsters, needing a place to hide, and a chance to say goodbye to his niece and nephew before he leaves the country. Sally asks Bernie for his help, and together they cook up a scheme to save Brendan's life.
