Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to the most famous mystery writer of Cabot Cove. “Tough Guys Don’t Die” introduced hardboiled private detective Harry McGraw (Jerry Orbach) as the partner of the PI Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) hired to look into an unsolved case.

For a Duck Dodgers plan, it’s an unqualified success. However, dealing with the rampaging robot ducks afterwards turns out to be an entirely new problem in need of a solution.
