This episode of the original series varies from the formula that became too often a staple in the series. Too often, the killer confesses in court to get Masons client off. In this one, while Mason gets his client off in the trial sequence, he does it without revealing who the killer is.
The plot is well set up and there a a few things dangled for the viewer that lead you off the track for a while. Overall, this is a good episode and it is always a pleasure to see this cast at work. This 1960 show is very much in the groove. The story line is a Korea vet showing up years after the conflict after being released from a Chinese POW camp. He finds out one of his fellow officers thought he was dead, and stole his diary and published it as The Ordeal. Now it is a best seller and he wants his name credited for it.
