Blue Heelers: Why Give People Rights? They Only Abuse Them

« prev episode next » episode

Maggie meets local school teacher Brian Shields and his wife. Shields is very anti-guns having been to Vietnam. He gets into a minor prang with some city duck-shooters and goes berserk and shoots a gun in the street.

Tom agrees to let him go if he promises to stay out of trouble. PJ writes Mr Shields off as a wacko but Maggie feels there is something more to it. When Mr Shields is found dead the next day, the finger is pointed at the duck-shooters. When pressed by PJ the wife admits that her husband committed suicide as he had terminal cancer using a gun to highlight the danger of guns. PJ is not convinced but soon the media take over and join the wife's side.

Finally Maggie gets some circumstantial evidence that the wife killed her husband but it's too late as she is now the media darling and they could never make it stick.

Meanwhile Roz has brought herself a car to start a mobile salon and cannot meet her obligations to clean the station. With the help of Nell, Tom contracts the work out to a local widow. Add a recap »
