令人难以置信的地狱场景，在首尔市中心的人群面前上演。神秘生物判人有罪，应下地狱受罚。而异界生物恰好在指定的时间出现，将被定罪的人处以极刑—活活烧死。在这些令人费解的超自然事件所造成的巨大混乱中，新兴宗教组织“新真理教”的领导人郑晋守发出了威严的声音。他声称，只有罪人才会被判刑，而这些事件代表了规范人类行为的神圣意志。“箭镞”—他盲目的追随者们亲自动手，负责对违背神意者施以酷刑。世界变成了人间地狱。律师闵惠珍挑战郑议长的权威，声称地狱场景只是超自然现象。她与少数试图保护“有罪者“的人联手，让世界回到人类的领域，而不是纳入神的麾下。他们奋起反抗“新真理教”煽动的混乱。
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
