Tom Selleck as Private Detective Thomas Magnum

 

Storyline

Robin Masters is throwing an exclusive party on his estate. During the party, an attack is perpetrated on the guests. That in itself is bad enough. However, one of the guests is concerned about the idea that famous crime writer Jessica Fletcher is needed to investigate this case. Magnum is appalled.

 

Jessica Fletcher appears and takes on the task. Although the whole thing mauls Magnum’s nerves in unexpected ways, he has to admit that the conclusions of the author are at least brilliant.

 

Nevertheless, the private eye naturally makes every effort to solve the case before the crime writer.
