A young couple was spending a night in a fancy hotel, waiting to meet the next day the guy's aunt. They were having dinner in the hotel dining room together with a single friend while a burglar was cleaning deposit boxes in several rooms. Noticing something wrong, the guy (a former teacher who has just quit school due to plagiarism issue) went upstairs and couldn't find his little girl in the crib. Detective believed this could be a kidnapping, because the aunt, who had few months to live due to a disease, is very rich and she is willing to do whatever it takes to get her great-niece back. The thief was a pro and hardly he could do such a thing. After catching the perpetrators, Goren wanted to dig in the couple's life, finding out in the process some unexpected truth.
I feel pity for the aunt (Lynn Redgrave, in her last performance). Everybody around try to blackmail her in order to get their hands on her assets, even the next to kin; no one has feeling for this old lady.
