Barnaby is hired by a woman from Missouri, Angie McClaine, to locate her husband who disappeared along with her jewelry. The man, now calling himself "Dr. Charles Kohlmeyer", a devious conman with a decided capacity for violence, has moved on to his next and very lucrative but somewhat naive mark, Vanessa Stevenson. However, one of his former victims, Lisa Howard, has tracked him down, confronts him, calls him "Ben", and threatens to reveal all to his latest mark, so he kills her during a struggle and stuffs her body in a steamer trunk, sending it to parts unknown, although we later learn she was buried in Sun Valley. Around the same time, a friend and associate inside the conman-now turned murderer's new milieu catches him in a lie, begins questioning the behavior of "Kohlmeyer" and becomes a bit too inquisitive for his own good.
