The Case of the Stuttering Bishop

Bischof Mallory hat vor Jahren für ein kleines Mädchen Pflegeeltern vermittelt. Das Mädchen, das unter dem Namen Carol Delaney aufwächst, stammt aus einer reichen Familie. Nun sucht Mallory in Los Angeles das Mädchen per Annonce – und gerät bald ernsthaft in Bedrängnis. Offenbar versucht jemand, eine falsche Carol in die ursprüngliche Familie einzuschleusen. Zudem wird der echten Carol ein Mord untergeschoben. Es sieht ganz so aus, als bräuchte das Mädchen einen guten Anwalt. (Text: kabel eins)
