This episode goes gothic as all kinds of body parts from the property of Sparta's most reclusive citizen leads the police to believe they've had a serial killer operating there for some time.

A rather crazy old reclusive woman played by Shirley Stoller who identifies more with the pigs she breeds than with people wards off strangers with a rifle. The son of the recluse Michael Horton tries to help the investigation.

Some comic relief is provided by David Hart and Geoffrey Thorne as Parker and Sweet try to show each other up in investigatory skills..

As for the ending, straight out of Psycho.
