This Perry Mason story is really going to have you reaching. The writers must have put in plenty of overtime to get this one down. Blink and you'll miss an
important clue.
It starts when Joanna Moore shows up as an temp at Perry Mason's office and Barbara Hale puts her right to work and compliments her. Then there's a robbery on the floor above at a diamond exchange and one of the partners is killed.
Another partner is charged with murder and it's Alan Marshal who Raymond Burr winds up defending. One thing however is that it is Marshal who is seen disposing of a body in the Los Angeles harbor. A disquieting most atypical of the Perry Mason paradigm.
In fact there's a lot atypical in this story as Marshal when he's put on the stand tells a tale that Burr finds incredulous.
In the last 10 minutes all is revealed and this one could have been written by Agatha Christie. William Hopper does some of his best detective work and engages in some atypical fisticuffs proving Paul Drake can handle himself if needed.
And I thought Hamilton Burger was going to give birth right there in court when Perry Mason reveals the truth in court. William Talman's reactions are priceless.
