Perry is called in to help legally breakup the partnership of Dwight Garrett (Douglas Henderson) and Austin Lloyd (Gerald Mohr, at his despicable best!). Garrett is the engineering brains of the business, while Lloyd is the grifter who's trying to play whatever angle he can.Seeing he's about to lose the only asset of his company in Garrett, he sets his partner up to look like he tried to poison him and run away to Mexico with Bonnie Lloyd (Gloria Talbot) Austin's own wife. But when Austin really turns up dead--strangled--all signs point to Garrett because of the frame Lloyd built and a real murderer took advantage of.Is there anyone better at being despicable and oily than Gerald Mohr? He's one of the many highlights in this episode, which also features the very attractive Gloria Talbot and Elaine DeVry as Lloyd's secretary. The script is good and the direction crisp, while Burr and the rest of the regular cast are in top form.Perry uses one of his patented "lawyer's tricks" and "courtroom theatrics" when he proves to an astounded Lt. Anderson how one electric typewriter can leave its signature on another electric typewriter by merely switching the ball. Amazing in those days when the electric typewriter was new; amazing today as audiences ask: "what's a typewriter?".
