***SPOILERS*** Poor confused and totally clueless Millie Crest, Ruta Lee, had better see Perry Mason, Raymond Burr, in order to get her head straighten out in just what kind of trouble that she now finds herself in. It's bad enough that Millie's faïence Bob Wallace, John Bryant, has framed her with him embezzling $9,000.00 from the company that they work for and also checked out on her, to possibly South America, on her wedding day. She also gets involved with a US senator the honorable Harriman Baylor's, Barton Maclane,son the Alaskan bound Johnny, James Kirkwood Jr, who's reportedly to have gotten her pregnant out of wedlock. But Millie is now also then prime suspect in insurance agent Carl Davis' murder. Not bad for a small town girl from Marshall City visiting the big swinging and glittering town of of L.A.
It was Millie's big mistake of taken on the identity of the killed in a car accident Fran Driscoll, Helene Stanley, that started the ball rolling against her. It was in fact Driscoll who carjacked Millie at gun point which lead to her losing control of the car in her struggling with Millie for the gun and falling down an embankment killing her. How Senator Baylor got involved in this royal mess was his son Johnny that Driscoll was having an affair with whose love letters to her telling Dirscoll what an unfeeling rat his father is that can sink his campaign for re-election before it even starts. And it's those letters, eight of them, that are suspected to be in Millie's possession which their not. It's here where insurance agent Davis comes in trying to shake down Millie whom he like everyone else mistakes from Fran Driscoll. That at first ended with him getting stabbed by an ice pick by Millie Crest and later murdered by what the police suspect is the same person.
****SPOILERS*** It's Millie's .38 cent, that's all she could afford to pay him, lawyer Perry Mason who soon realizes that she's not Fran Driscoll and that the late Fran Driscoll who carjacked Millie isn't her either. Then who exactly is Fran Driscoll and if in fact if she's alive or not? By checking hospital records corresponding with the day Fran Driscoll was supposedly killed Perry comes up with the real live Fran Driscoll which cooks Sen. Baylor chances for re-election. It's also proved in court by Perry that it was the murdered Carl Davis who took the hit, or stab wound, to cover the senator's tracks and his involvement in the murder case. But by far the biggest shock of all was who in fact murdered Agent Davis! And as it turned out Davis' murder had nothing a all to do with any of the many goings on in this very strange and confusing Perry Mason episode.
