Amy Adler had a juvenile record before becoming a photographer's assistant, who'd been terminated for coming to work late. When the photographer she used to work for is murdered, she begs Matlock to help her out. While pro bono cases aren't usually his style, something about the feisty young woman catches his interest, and he agrees to help her out. Amy is beaten up by a man, causing her best dress to get ruined, when she got supplies from the studio. Tyler rescues her and heard she took the man's picture.

Habitually angry Dr Dave Westlake supervises a team of doctors and threatens them with bad performance reviews before being killed. Team member Bruce Jacobs finds the body and they all become suspects.
