This episode of Perry Mason finds Perry defending one junior golf pro accused of murdering the senior golf pro at the country club played by Dennis Patrick. It was Alan Reed Jr.'s wedge that was used to club Patrick to death and it was junior pro Reed that was found over the body.
This episode was interesting for because none other than Hamilton Burger is a member of the club and earlier that evening presented Patrick with the first prize money for winning a tournament. Later on Patrick called William Talman with information about a possible case. Just as Talman is telling Patrick to see him in the office next morning at 12:27 am. he hears the sound of a struggle and Patrick is dead. It's Talman who summons the police who find the body.
Patrick was truly a slime ball who had a host of people who would have liked to do him in. In fact Raymond Burr shows that any number of people could have done the deed. The key is the missing prize money which Talman had presented in cash to Patrick.
A good episode and interesting to see William Talman in the witness box.
