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.moreless

  • An anti-guns veteran is found shot dead. Are a group of duck shooters whom he had a run in responsible, or is the true victim closer to home?...

    Another reasonable but not classic episode; The series is still finding its feet.

    The plot is a fair-to-middling one, concerning the murder of an anti-guns local, who is found dead after a falling out with some duck shooters. The plot starts out as an intriguing one, and later falls into a just rather average affair.

    Roz's run of 'job of the week' sub-plots continues, this time buying a car to start a mobile saloon. This means that she is too busy for here cleaning duties at the Police station, which naturally gets her on the wrong side of Sergeant Croydon.moreless
