A policeman suspects a man is getting elderly residents of nursing homes to put him in his will, after visiting regularly, etc., and then murders them. They haven't been able to prove it. Then the policeman wins the Lotto! He quits the force, but still wants to solve the case, and continues to work on it himself, hires a helper to set up the guilty guy.
