Murder in Season

Glamorous opera singer, Eleanor Samson, returns to Glasgow, her home town, to sing with Scottish Opera. She hopes to bring about a reconciliation with her estranged husband, John, but she is furious to discover that there is a new woman in John's life - blonde, attractive Kirsty King. When Kirsty's body is found in the burnt out shell of John's boat, Eleanor Samson is the prime suspect. Jim Taggart, tough Glasgow detective and his smooth assistant, Peter Livingstone, fall out over the case. Livingstone believes that Eleanor is guilty; Taggart cannot believe that a woman like Eleanor could be a murderess. Is Taggart allowing his judgement to be clouded by Eleanor's fame and beauty?

Operasangerinden Eleanor Samson vender hjem til Glasgow, hvor hun håber at blive forsonet med sin fraseparerede mand, John. Men håbet daler, da hun opdager, at der er en ny kvinde i Johns liv - den unge, blonde Kirsty King. Efter et skænderi mellem de to kvinder findes Kirsty myrdet i John's udbrændte lystbåd. Mens Taggart forsøger at grave nye beviser frem, er der optræk til endnu et mord. For pubejeren Keith har fået mere end nok af sin dominerende kone. Nu forsøger han at afpresse den unge Jimmy Petrie til at lukke munden på hende én gang for alle. Men noget er gået galt.
