An overly functional family spins Jeff's head like a Lazy Susan, over a murder/jewel heist where nothing makes sense. A precocious grandchild with a pet ocelot bedevils Roscoe, one daughter's missing, and sister Lally's draped all over Jeff. Narcotics, somnambulism, an asylum visit, an elusive psychiatrist, and a mother who makes as much sense as Gracie Allen challenge the Bailey & Spencer firm's patience and resources, as everyone feeds Lt. Gilmore straight lines.
