The British invasion that the Beatles led is responsible for this Perry Mason episode in which a young British lad played by Martin Horsey is is being backed under the table by millionaire Paul Stewart to a pop music career. Stewart is a millionaire and has his reasons for backing young Horsey.
Part of the deal is that Horsey take on Richard Carlson as a manager and Carlson is a real piece of work. That part of the episode made no sense and with Perry Mason drawing up the contract and with a report about Carlson from the ever reliable Drake Detective Agency showing what a rat Carlson is you'd think Stewart back off. No reason was ever given why it had to be Carlson in charge.
But being he's a rat there are any number of people who'd like him dead, but it's Horsey that's charged. And of course Raymond Burr nabs the real killer in court. I won't say who, but I'm willing to bet that Burr will take the case against the real murderer as well.
I think the writers were getting a little tired and this episode showed it.
