StoryJohn Elliotte
Lucas Tolliver has come to California
from Oklahoma to meet the woman he was matched up with by
a computer dating service. Lucas is pretending to be a
poor country hick, but he really owns a great deal of
property, including some oil wells. The rich widow he's
matched up with agrees to marry him and the jubilant
bridegroom asks his friend Terrence Clay for the name of
a good lawyer.
Clay suggests Mason and Lucas asks him
to draw up a will for his future bride, Millie Barton.
Perry is suspicious of Lucas and has Paul check him out.
It turns out that Lucas was married before and his
previous wife died from eating poisonous wild greens and
left him her fortune. It looks as though Lucas is setting
up Millie, especially after she dies at a party after
drinking poisoned lemonade that Lucas served her.
