Betty Hitchens is preparing for the grand opening of her bakery, Betty's Cakes. However, as the exciting day draws near, she's told that the storefront she occupies in downtown Yellow Rose, TX has problems which will delay the start of her new enterprise. To make matters worse, her daughter is giving her fits and a dead body is discovered in the alley behind her new shop. This generates plenty of publicity, only not the kind that she was hoping for. Though the police are hard at work on the case, Betty and former newspaper reporter Martin Lane decide to help out with a little investigating of their own. Betty's persistent questions draw unwanted attention, however, and soon the killer's attention shifts to her and Martin.
