Mason takes on another seemingly hopeless case when a man murders a talk show host on television in front of 40 million viewers. The blanks he thought he was firing [the recoil from the .357 magnum should have told him the round was live] had been replaced by a nefarious felon intent on making him the patsy. As usual, Perry puts his brilliant deductive powers into play and solves another sticky crime. I like the films with William Moses playing Mason's detective more than the ones with Katt. Moses is a more believable performer.
