The Arsonist

Marvin und Sid, die beiden Inhaber einer Herrenboutique, beschließen ihren schlecht gehenden Laden abbrennen zu lassen. Als Marvin erstochen wird, fällt der Verdacht auf seinen Kompagnon. Matlock übernimmt die Verteidigung seines alten Freundes Sid.

Marvin Sheam and Sid Franklin have been in business for 32 years. When their bank loan is denied and they can't pay their bills, Marv tries to talk Sid into hiring an arsonist to torch their business so they can collect the insurance money and rebuild from scratch. Just before Marv has a chance to talk to the arsonist again, he winds up dead outside his daughter's wedding reception, and Sid gets blamed.
