Robert Middleton plays Judge Daniel Redmond, a highly respected jurist who decides to run for Lt. Governor against Victor Kendall (David White). But when a wartime scam threatens to smear his honest image and his accuser suddenly turns up dead, Redmond becomes a murder suspect. His loyal secretary Marian Lamont (Florida Friebus) goes to Perry to ask for help.
This is like a TVland spectacular of favorites. David White is instantly recognizable as Larry Tate from "Bewitched" while Jackie Coogan was moonlighting from playing Uncle Fester on "the Addams Family". Florida Freibus was not only Dobie Gillis' mom, but would later become a regular in Dr. Bob Hartley's group sessions on "the Bob Newhart Show". Harry Holcombe, who plays the lead Senator in the hearings was a regular on "Bonanza" as Doc Martin in the show's final year and played Grampa in a series of Countrytime Lemonade commercials. Even Robert Middleton, who is mostly known for movie roles and guest shots, spent a season as a regular on "The Monroes". So that makes this episode seem a bit like old home week, and that's not a bad thing.
