This was an odd premise for a 'Perry Mason' episode as we get a murder that is unfamiliar as any in the entire collection. Perhaps if the writer had made more of the characters likable- it may have went over better. But since that did not happen we get a scenario for murder that was strange and difficult to understand as we have seen in sometime.
An obnoxious radio DJ named Barney Austin, that ends his program with 'goodnight and unpleasant dreams', calls his boss, Kevin Steele, on the air. During the conversation Kevin (which is never seen) is shot. And guess what?- just so happens that Perry Mason is listening to the station.
There is many people to choose from in this mystery. Since nearly everyone in the cast hated Kevin Steele's guts, practically everyone is a suspect. But since Kevin's ex-wife, Holly Andrew, was seen near the crime seen by none other than Perry Mason -she will be charged. And she asks Perry to defend her even though Perry will be called as a witness for the state.
The ending for a novice person will be difficult to follow. And even when it is explained there will be more questions than answers.
Not one of the better scripts. For the regular person it will be difficult to understand the basis behind the electronics that will provide the true murderer, thus making the show more complex than needed. Even though the guilty party was obvious from the start- when in court they relied on poor evidence to draw a weak confession. The actors performance was the only bright spot in this weaker mystery. Not one of the better shows.
