Paul is hired to go to a big society party and keep an eye on pretty 21 year old Margo Stevens (Carol Anderson in her first TV role). When the client who hired him turns up dead, Paul calls for Perry to join the party. Perry arrives just in time to witness (actually Paul passes the keys to him, which Perry "volunteers") the opening of Margo's suitcase. Inside the police (sorry, no Lt. Tragg, just Lt. Anderson) open the suitcase and discover the murder weapon.Margo is charged with killing her aunt. The police surmise she killed the aunt, hid a valuable necklace and Margo was planning to elope with handsome (yet crooked) Danny Pierce (Jack Ging) that night. They assume the necklace is hidden on the estate somewhere. The big question the script fails to ask is why would she put the incriminating evidence of the bloody knife in her suitcase and stash the necklace IF she was planning to run away that night? Why wouldn't she want to take the necklace and stash the knife (after carefully wiping off any fingerprints)? The regulars are all in top form (although Paul is given the condescending task of asking Margo for a "date" at the end of the episode) and its nice to see "Ghost and Mr. Chicken" co-star Joan Staley as the lovely Gina. Other than the lack of Tragg, season five seems to end with the series working on all cylinders.
