Death Comes To Town

Death arrives on the Greyhound in the small town of Shuckton, Ontario at the same time that the townsfolk and their Mayor are waiting for news on their bid for the next Olympics. We meet the townsfolk of Shuckton.

The town bustles with activity when one of its citizens is found murdered and the police are called in to begin their investigation. Action News anchor Corrinda is awoken by her producer, Levon, from a drunken one-night stand and called into action.

As the town of Shuckton mourns, Dusty begins his autopsy and ends up taking his work home with him. Meanwhile, the cops review Crim's rap sheet, and Ricky and Marnie begin their own investigation.

A Big-City prosecutor arrives in town for the start of the trial and the public defender, Sam Murray, struggles to deal with his cat Buttonhole's double coma while simultaneously preparing for the defense.

As the trial gets underway, housebound Ricky sends Marnie into the field to continue his investigation. Corrinda wrestles with a tough decision. Death gets the call and kicks his ladies out of the No-Tell.

When another murder occurs in Shuckton, Sam requests a mistrial, while Big-City uses the shape-shifting defense. Dusty is called to testify, revealing that his autopsy was never completed and the judge orders the body exhumed.

Shuckton is stunned by the news of Dusty's one-sided love affair. Buttonhole the cat has some unfortunate accidents. The lawyers perform their final summations in Crim's trial and Sam's goes really well - until the end.

Mayor Marilyn is in top form hosting her first public execution. Ricky and Marnie show up at the execution, in the nick of time, and Marnie makes the most shocking revelation of all. Death finally gets to face off against Ricky.
