- A judge is murdered while placing a 911 call, but before she dies she names her attacker - notorious criminal Dale Biederbeck. The problem is, "Dale the Whale" is over 800 pounds and hasn't left his bed in years.
- A 911 call from a judge identifies the man who is about to murder her as rich and obscenely fat financier Dale Biederbeck. But "Dale the Whale" weighs over 800 pounds and can't get up from his bed, making it impossible for him to have committed the murder, despite the 911 call and the testimony of a ten-year-old witness who saw an extremely fat man through the window of the judge's house. The fact that Biederbeck sued Monk's wife for libel after she criticized his ethics in a newspaper article gives Monk added incentive to find him guilty. While Monk and Captain Stottlemeyer try to figure out how Dale could have committed the murder, Sharona gets her chance to play Lois Lane, or rather Florence Nightingale, by briefly serving as Biederbeck's nurse instead of Monk's. She also finds herself attracted to Dale's private physician, Christian Vezza.—WyattJones
- A woman calls 911 and tells the attendant that the notorious criminal Dale "The Whale" Biederbeck has invaded her house. Then she is murdered and identified by the police as Judge Lavinio. A young girl is an eyewitness and reports a very fat man as the criminal. Stottlemeyer summons Monk and Sharona to help the investigation since Dale has morbid obesity and weights almost 400 kg. It is not possible to leave his room without removing the window and using a crane to move him. Dr. Christian Vezza, who treats him, tells the police that his client cannot leave the room. But Monk and Stottlemeyer are sure that Dale is the killer, and they have to investigate how.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
