I really don't understand why anyone complains that this episode of Perry Mason doesn't make sense, is convoluted, is poorly conceived, written, acted, and directed. That is PM's M. O.!!! There's nothing out of the ordinary here. No basis in reality. Nothing resembling real law or investigative procedures. Nothing fathomable in the plot. Just supermarket paperback / tabloid pablum. The program is, was, and always will be ridiculously poor. The regulars are mid-level character actors, and it's utterly amazing how otherwise good guest-actors are reduced to community-theater level performances. All normal in the world of Perry Mason!
