Perry Mason: The Case of the Deadly Double (1958)
Season 1, Episode 24
5/10
Proper Woman and Wild Child
7 April 2014
Denver Pyle is the Perry Mason client in this episode. But the case turns on Pyle's sister Constance Ford who is the victim of a dual personality. She's the estranged wife of Carleton G. Young who winds up dead and it's possible that Ford might have killed her and her primary personality would not know anything about it. She has in fact a strange handbag with the murder weapon inside.

Strange to Young's wife, but not to her wild child other personality. But Pyle made some public threats to Young and that's why the cops have him in the jackpot.

With the help of Ford's treating psychiatrist Abraham Sofaer the truth is revealed.

The players are good, sad to say the writers weren't really up on their mental health knowledge in writing this story.
