The Perry Mason client for this episode is Karl Swenson who is a manufacturer of high quality furniture. He's been in business for over 30 years and his trademark name stands for quality. But he'd like to get out and enjoy some retirement years. I can identify with that. He and his new socialite girlfriend Marie Windsor have sold the business to Dennis Patrick and another piece of the land of the business for a children's hospital.
Sad to say though Dennis Patrick is a conman who has no intention of doing with the business what Swenson would like. He's buying cheap woods and lowering the quality of the furniture he's selling and banking on the Swenson trademark to make some quick profits. Patrick won the company in a bidding scheme that might not have completely been on the up and up.
Anyway he's found dead and there are a lot of suspects including the men at Swenson's factory all of who would have lost their jobs, other parties who bid on the factory, etc. But it's Swenson who Raymond Burr has to defend.
Swenson is a good manufacturer and boss, but boy is he thick about the ways of the world. He had to be good at his craft because he's so naive in personal matters.
That's all I'll say on this Perry Mason episode.
