:

Art enthusiast Julia Conrad (Hilary Jardine) dreams of having her own art gallery one day, but Marion Rieder (Mary Pat Gleason) kills her. Marion's son Owen (Nicholas Carella≤) reports to the police that his antique gun had been stolen. Angie learns that a bullet from that gun was what killed Julia. The gun may also have emitted a minor blast and the killer's hands might be burned. Owen becomes a suspect when it is learned he had asked Julia on a date but was rebuffed. He confesses, but Angie believes he is covering for someone. Marion pleads for Owen's release and Angie takes him home. It is then she notices Marion's burned hand. Julia had bought an original painting from Marion, even though it was ruined when Marion drew a cat onto it. Marion learned the painting was actually worth a lot of money and shot Julia when she refused to return it.
