Murders at the Boarding House

Following up a missing person's report, Detective John Cabrera visits the boarding house of Dorothea Puente. She is friendly and cooperative, but after Cabrera discovers a body in her backyard, Puente gives him the slip and goes on the run.

While Det. John Cabrera digs into Dorothea Puente's dark past, she is plotting her next move from a Los Angeles motel room until a tip-off leads to her arrest; she is flown back to Sacramento, Calif., to be prosecuted for nine counts of murder.
