If you are looking for a feel-good show then pass on this episode. This involves a relationship that is uncomfortable even to the viewer.
It begins when a husband, Ted Chase, steals a rifle from a sporting goods store because he had thoughts of killing his wife. His wife, Irene Chase, is a vamp that seems to have a relationship with every other man in the cast.
As much as we want to feel remorse for the situation that Ted Chase is living- it turns sour when he has his wife in the cross-hairs of the rifle for killing. Even though Mr Chase does not pull the trigger, it will be hard to feel sorry for him as the show continues.
After Mr Chase cannot kill his wife, he throws the rifle down am air vent. Later on the radio, we learn that Irene Chase had been killed and the police is looking for Ted Chase.
Perry will have his hands full as he tries to defend an not-so-innocent man on charges of murder. But through the testimony of witnesses, it becomes apparent that someone wanted Ted Chase in serious trouble.
This is a crowded cast that at times is difficult to follow. Much time is seemed spent on stocks, stock bonds and stock certificates - so I was trying to keep those separate as we progress to the court hearing. But by the end of the show, anything with stocks was just a red herring.
Perhaps after many really good shows, this mystery seemed almost dull. But there is good courtroom activity that will please the most novice Mason fan and lead the case to an acceptable ending.
