Sie wird Teil ihres Clubs, der sich immer donnerstags im Puzzlezimmer trifft, um ungelöste Kriminalfälle aufzuklären. Als dann direkt vor ihrer Haustür ein Mord verübt wird, ist der Ermittlungseifer der vier Senioren natürlich geweckt, und selbst der Chefinspektor der lokalen Polizeidienststelle kann nur über ihren Scharfsinn staunen.
