For the Girl Who Has Everything (Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased))

"For the Girl who Has Everything" is the twelfth episode of the 1969 ITC British television series Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) starring Mike Pratt, Kenneth Cope and Annette Andre. The episode was first broadcast on 6 December 1969 on ITV. Directed by Cyril Frankel, it featured Lois Maxwell.

Synopsis
Kim Wentworth (Lois Maxwell) who has too much money, and too many husbands, plots to kill husband seven for artistic straying, with a cover of a haunting - being investigated by ghost hunter James McAlliser (Freddie Jones) for a fee of £1500 (1969 - £25,000 2020). Apparently, dodgy McAlliser is quite the reverse, calling on Randall and Hopkirk when he cannot detect a ghost, and generously shares his fee with Randall for a week's work. Randall is left to sort out the true killer of McAllister, husband number 7 and becoming murder victim no 3 of the episode. A nice aside is the introduction of Mrs Pleasance (Marjorie Rhodes), a modest born clairvoyant for far too short a time, whose storyline intersects with the murders for humour and resolution.
