One of the things I dislike about some of the episodes is when they have a crowded cast. In this show, there are so many people that at times it was difficult to remember exactly who they were talking about without seeing a face. It can get complicated trying to keep up with who-is-who with those long Russian names during extended dialog.
Because of all the characters and their long names, I will sum this up quickly to make the story more clear. A long lost Russian Tiara is accidentally found when a old Russian magician pays a woman for lodging and food. The woman takes the tiara to Perry thinking she had been swindled. But by taking the tiara to the Devry/Van Ness Jewelry Company, Mr Devry says the tiara is real.
Meanwhile, Mr Van Ness is returning from a trip and upon driving home is stopped by the police and they find a dead man (who happens to be a jewelry thief) in the truck of the car. Van Ness is charged with the murder. Perry will defend him in court.
The best thing about the episode is the courtroom scenes. There we can to see the characters and can keep the large Russian names separated from confusion. Perry picks through the witnesses, plus the tiara, and comes up with the reason for the murder. Someone is left on the witness-stand thinking their plan was never going to be discovered.
If you can get pass the first half of the show then you will be rewarded with a very nice mystery. But with all the confusing names and a crowded cast, it will take patience to keep the interest going.
