I cannot get enough of the first season of 'Perry Mason'. Raymond Burr is energetic (something missing in the last two or three seasons) and highly emotional when dealing with others in the cast.
In this episode Perry must have been in a savage mood cause he seems ticked off at just about everyone. From his client to Hamilton Burger, he seems ready to call out anyone he thinks is not telling the truth or trying to use him in the court room.
The show starts out with Sybil Granger (Margaret Hayes) spying on her husband Bruce Granger (William Roerick) catting around with a blond bombshell Roxy Howard (Greta Thyssen 1951 Miss Denmark). Sybil does not want to lose her cheating husband and schemes with Perry to get the girl out of the picture. Perry is to buy shares in a development company so that her husband will not be Mr Moneybags to Roxy.
The CEO of the company, George Lutts (Richard Hale), finds out that Sybil has got Perry to buys shares and he go to confront her at the spying spot. A shot rings out and Mr Lutts falls down dead. And then we have a series of strange (or as I say) TV events.
Sybil runs to her car to get away from the scene. Before getting off the dirt road she runs into a ditch. She then makes her way to a rural road when low and behold the third car that passes is a cab. To make matter even worse,she left a loaded gun in her glove compartment.
In the next scene she is in Perry's office. And Perry takes her case as she is charged with murder of Mr Lutts after evidence is produced by the DA's office.
Along the way we get some good acting from the cast and good dialog from the writers. We even have Perry using some-would-say unethical conduct in getting his client freedom.
Anyway this is another good episode. Has all the things that made the Mason series great. Even some great scenes with Perry and Lt Tragg. Only one note-- we get to see Hamilton Burger wearing a hat. I don't think I saw that too many times in the entire series run.
