Is someone trying to kill Sheriff Metzger?
When the episode begins, someone nearly blows Sheriff Metzger's head off with a shotgun blast through the window of this office. During the same episode, Metzger is trying to catch a guy who is operating a high-class illegal gambling parlor....and he starts to wonder if the two things are related. Soon, a deputy driving Metzger's car* is killed...and Metzger believes the killer thought the deputy was him. What's really going on here?
This is an interesting story and an interesting twist at the end. My only problems were a few tiny elements in the story. First, in a town of only 3000 people, it's hard to believe that an illegal gambling den would be in tiny Cabot Cover, Maine. Second, the sheriff kept talking about the murder weapon being an over-under shotgun...but a shotgun is a shotgun when it comes to the ballistics. Shotgun blasts cannot be attributed to a specific shotgun or style of shotgun...there is no 'bullet' per se and there are no grooves (the barrel is not rifled like other guns). A minor detail...but one the writers should have noticed. Still, despite these quibbles, and they are only quibbles, an interesting episode and one well worth your time.
