This episode involves a couple who are up to something having to do with a secure place in the bank where huge amounts of money are kept. The conspirators' efforts are compromised when a couple of punks on motorcycles steal the lady's purse, punch her in the head, and take off. The document in the purse is the receipt for the safe where the money is kept. Joyce gets into the act this time when she takes a painting class and meet the woman who ends up murdered. Another interesting feature of this story is the Barnaby is taken off the case because of a conflict of interest (his wife finding the murder victim). Troy, however, stays with a couple of hotshot detectives who treat him like Barney Fife. Of course, our intrepid detective continues to investigate, despite being told not to. It gets interesting. There is a subplot where the bank is being closed to make way for a restaurant. Average offering.
