This is an interesting case for Perry making it an interesting episode for the viewer. We follow Perry along the path of switch identity, bank theft and murder all in one episode.
The episode starts out with William Sherwood (played by Peter Breck who the following year would be Nick Barkley in the series 'The Big Valley') who is a recovering alcoholic. He believes he sees his dead wife getting into a cab outside a hotel. Unable to catch the cab he falls back into the world of drinking since he is sure he saw his dead wife.
At his work, his boss Sidney Falconer (played by George Tobias who would go on to be Abner Kravitz in 'Bewitched') receives a phone call wanting William to meet a girl at a bar outside of town. William, thinking it maybe his dead wife, goes to the bar and again starts drinking. When no one shows up he goes outside and finds his wife in a car. Only problem- is now she is really dead. And William makes the sad mistake of not calling the police. So a warrant is issued for William and Perry is let to sort out all the problems.
Like I said this is just the start of the episode. It take a few strange turns until we get one of those courtroom confessions that only Perry seems to be able to extract.
Good watchable episode with many suspects who could of had a motive.
