Perry Mason goes to a military tribunal to defend sergeant Dexter from a charge of murder.
Major Lewis (John Dehner) is the unlucky prosecutor who thinks he has a cast iron case against Dexter.
Major Frank Lessing attended Perry Mason's office about a sensitive family matter. His US army base has some suspicious money that was supposed to have been burned at an army base in Corregidor, Philippines. Only for some of the US currency was stolen.
Major Lessing is in the frame regarding the currency coming over to the US. However he is later found dead by his wife with a suicide note.
His widow wants Perry Mason to defend Dexter because she initially believed that it is suicide but the Major Lewis reckons that the note was typed later.
There is an interesting and a slightly complicated story but one suspect is easy to guess. There is a lot more meat to the bones by the time Perry Mason has finished his cross examination.
