EPISODE OVERVIEW

1 Review | 5 Votes

When Cameron Ivers is killed in a hit and run accident, Matlock decides to take a closer look at Robinson and Reeves, hoping that if he can tie them to Cameron Ivers' death he'll be able to tie them to Scott Aston's death and clear Cliff. After gathering together a number of people Scott Aston had been investigating who were supposed to be dead, Matlock heads to Florida where he finds Chuck Ratner, and Cliff and Jerri learn that the people are all connected because they all turned down the same kind of life insurance. Matlock continues his quest to lose weight by his reunion, but fires his personal trainer. Add a recap »

  • Although Michael Cumpsty and Gerald Curran are both credited in this episode, neither one appears. This is most likely due to the fact that originally The Scam was presented as a two-hour telemovie, so all the credits were listed together. edit »
