When a candidate for governor is killed, the incumbent is pleased. Then the governor is killed, and the candidate's daughter is on trial for murder. It's a good thing this is a Perry Mason Mystery. Even if Perry is unavailable (because Raymond Burr is dead), there's Barbara Hale as Della Street, William Moses as the investigator and Hal Holbrook, sporting a country accent and Stetson to deal with the matter. Will a random witness confess on the stand? Don't be surprised if one does.
The characters involved (including turns by Tony Curtis, Bonnie Bartlett and James Brolin) keeps things interesting. Given the information that comes out at the end, revealing the actual murderer, it's not as good as the others.
