In "The Thimble," an artist appears to die from a heart attack, but her daughter believes that it was murder.
As the episode opens, Miss O'Neal storms into the office of assistant district attorney, Charles Morgan. She tells him that he needs to stop her mother's funeral...now....because her mother was murdered! But, no one believes her.
MIss O'Neal claims that it was her mother's physician, Dr. Cypress, who killed her. Not only was he treating her, but he was also the executor of her estate...and the two were having an affair.
When asked why her mother didn't leave her estate to her, Miss O'Neal explains that it was never an option...because she is insane.
Since the treating physician had refused an autopsy at the time of death, the assistant district attorney now has reason to investigate...
