Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the first scene, Jessica is in the archeological lab talking with Cyrus Ramsey (James Coburn). Several pieces of antiquities are visible. They walk past a small statue of The Town Musicians of Bremen (four or five animals standing on each others' backs). Hardly an Aztec artifact, this figurine is from a Grimm Brother's fairy tale story published in 1819 and taking place in Germany.
- GoofsDuring the dance, it's quite obviously not James Coburg in the Death costume. The dancer is much thinner, and has brown eyes. It's a major plot point, but Jessica doesn't immediately discover it.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Jessica Fletcher: [entering room] Cyrus.
Cyrus Ramsey: Oh, Jessica. Oh, I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to see you again. How was your flight down?
Jessica Fletcher: Oh, it was wonderful and I got in last night. But I was just told that you'd had a break-in. So if this is a bad time...
Cyrus Ramsey: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The day is yours. I've cleared the calendar.

Day of the Dead
When Jessica travels to Mexico City on a research trip, her arrival coincides with the theft of the National Museum's most prized artefact, the solid gold Death Mask of Montezuma. And when Enrico Montejano, a corrupt local businessman suspected of the crime, is found murdered, Jessica offers to help the Mexican police find the culprit.
This episode has got plenty of colour with the Mexican location, it's culture, and in the backdrop is the usual murder and mayhem. James Coburn lends some star power as an archaelogist. Spaghetti western star Tomas Millan plays the corrupt businessman. It's all a pleasant viewing with Jessica solving the case at the end.
