Checkmate, My Love

Deceived by Heath Locke's facade of decency, Xena Morse becomes engaged to him, unaware of his true nature—a greedy and licentious man having an affair with her half-sister, Tara Morse. Tara schemes to bring down their family and orchestrates the death of Xena's father. During the wake, Xena catches Tara and Heath in the act. When she learns the truth behind her father's death, Xena rushes to contact the police but is abducted before she can act.
