Matlock Season 5 Episode 14
Matlock has known Sam Spelvin since he was six years old, so he agrees to consult on Sam’s play, Lovers and Lawyers. Unfortunately, the play is truly awful. When noted critic John Bosley Hackett, who felt the play was truly one of the worst in history, is found murdered, Sam is arrested. Matlock agrees to defend Sam, even deferring his payment while they wait to see if the play is a success, and manages to find a few more people who would be more than happy to see Hackett dead…and to see Sam’s play fail.
