Lt. Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) retires from the force when he inherits a farm from his late uncle Harvey. It isn't long before Disher begins to suspect that his uncle was murdered--along with his prize pig Harvey. Though he recoils at the notion of being stranded on a dusty, dirty farm with dozens of unsanitary animals, Monk swallows hard and agrees to investigate Harvey's death, disguising himself as a migrant worker for the purpose. Aided and abetted by the local constabulary and a friendly farmhand named Oates (James Gammon), Monk is soon harvesting clues left and right--especially the fact that the farm's principal "crop" is of an extremely high value indeed. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
