Len Cariou, Angela Lansbury's co-star in Sweeney Todd on Broadway makes yet
another appearance on Murder She Wrote as the ever charming British MI6 agent
Michael Haggerty. The running thread in Cariou's shows is that Haggerty always
gets Jessica Fletcher involved in one of his cloak and dagger adventures.
Nothing changes here except it's now a personal mission. His long estranged
daughter Kim Johnson-Ulrich is marrying a banker Kevin Kilner. But Kilner is
not your ordinary banker. His bank is merging with that of Hong Kong racketeer James Shigeta's bank for the purpose of money laundering. The whole thing is being fronted by a former member of Congress Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.
The daughter is not about to take advice from the father who left her and mother years ago. Besides her mother left her quite a nest egg.
The weakness of the episode is it seemed mighty easy for a trained agent to get suckered. But when Cariou is trailing Kilner he's suckered in pretty good.
He wakes up with a major headache and the shot dead Kilner next to him.
Still Cariou and Lansbury are as good as always. No wonder the couple was the
toast of Broadway.
