Synopsis: Jessica (Angela Lansbury) comes to the aid of her distant cousin Calhoun Fletcher (Peter Bonerz) when he is accused of murder.

Kitty Cameo: At the beginning of the episode Jessica receives a phone call from her Aunt Mildred (Penny Singleton) who is calling to ask her to make a stopover in New Orleans on her way to Houston to check on Calhoun. During the phone conversation, Mildred is holding a lovely calico cat.

The cat sniffs at the telephone receiver and then snuggles against Mildred.

Final Mewsings: With such an adorable kitten in your lap, would you get up to check on a missing relative yourself?

Many thanks to Ted Davis for letting us know about the cat in this episode.
