Fitz is dead? There's a funeral going on in 1929, but the guest of honor seems to be hiding in the greenhouse. Strange circumstances, indeed! How could an Immortal die of a heart attack unless he were poisoned? Fitz wants to know who killed him and Mac agrees to help. Fitz wouldn't normally be so concerned about the cause of his demise, but he tied up all his funds in the stock market and forgot to declare himself as his own heir. Bad business, that.
And so we set off on a weekend murder mystery in which one guest at the English country manor after another is mysteriously murdered. After some comic sleuthing on the part of Duncan MacLeod (with encouragement from the hiding Fitzcairn), Fitz's grieving widow Juliette turns out to be the murderer and she is hauled off by the police. Fitz is happy, but glad turns to sad when it is discovered that the stock market has crashed and he is no longer a wealthy formerly dead person, but a broke Immortal.
Questions:
1. Does monkey taste like chicken? How do YOU know?
2. Fitz, the embodiment of free love and wild romance, is upset when he finds that his widow Juliette has been having an affair, even though he himself has been having an affair. Is there any logic at all in this position? As it were.
3. Fitz usually seems to be on the ragged edge, financially speaking, while Duncan MacLeod attained wealth. Fitz finally gets some money, then dies and leaves himself penniless, then loses it all in the stock market. Do we wish Fitz had hooked up with that fellow in the infomercials who promises you vast wealth by placing tiny want ads in the newspapers? Or would have that been just plain wrong?
4. Duncan camps it up as the weekend detective. Is this one of his better comic turns on Highlander or did the comedy die aborning?
5. Is there anything about hair and/or pants that hasn't been said already?
