Bloodlines

On a clear autumn day local kennel owner John Cunningham sets out on the season's first shoot. Joining him is Ben Garnet, a corrupt local official who causes strife when he engineers an accidental mating between one of his spaniels and John's champion dog. The offspring would bear the coveted bloodlines of both dogs -- but the irate Cunningham refuses to sign the papers. When a half-dead Garnet turns up on the roadside, Cunningham becomes a suspect.
