Homicide

Surprising What People Can Do (11x42)

: 29, 1974

Is a small time crim as innocent as his wife maintains, or is he responsible for a brutal murder? Frances Brown's tiny house rocks with rejoicing - a wake for her late and unlamented husband, Alf. She has had a hard life - a tough but sympathetic lady, liked by everyone except her husband. Alf Brown was a mean old man - he never spent a cent on anything but booze - and he wouldn't even share that with his wife. It's no wonder Frances rejoices - until the police arrive, as the Homicide squad have found marks on Alf's body that indicate he was murdered.
