The art world is the setting for this Perry Mason story. In it George MacReady
makes the first of several appearances on the show, in this one an art dealer.
He sells a bogus rare painting off on collector Rhys Williams. Williams is like the
king in the emperor's new clothes, so proud of his reputation as art collector that
he won't go to the cops to expose MacReady.
Then there's Robert Harris who thinks of himself as a great artist on his own right but can't get any other work than as a high priced forger of great works. He's who MacReady hired to make the forgery he passed off on Williams.
But when MacReady is killed it's his estranged wife Bethel Leslie who becomes the Perry Mason client. She's been seeing art critic Donald Murphy. MacReady not one to let grass grow under his feet has Doris Singleton for comfort.
So lots of folks had reason to do in MacReady who is his creepiest best in a true George MacReady part.
It is vanity and Raymond Burr has to overcome that to gain Leslie's acquittal. The perpetrator is definitely in the top three you might suspect.
