**SPOILERS** It was still about the money, even though the imperious old gal that drove the oldest car in the county was hiding a secret. Yup, she wuz married, he ran off, she lost the child, and her pride and shame kept it under wraps, allowing her to be extorted into silence; carrying on unknown facts that hurt her niece, and playing out in a murder.
This is the second time I've seen the "wear a beard or get arrested" gambit used on this show; this time, Paul gets taken in, booked, and mugged. It's important later, watch it yourself, please.
Iris McKay was Paul's employer when she tried to clear her name in the embezzling scheme, and at that time, he could not find out much, for reasons already mentioned. This time, it's murder. After someone overheard Iris telling Perry about a folder in her apartment, and before he or Paul could get there, It's tossed; folder taken. It's got the crucial data inside, and Perry has to chizel out the truth from the old gal on the stand. A rare occurrence; actress Josephine Hutchinson actually cries in the scene, real tears, that is. By the time it's all out, Perry uncovers real estate fraud, illegal conversion of funds (the bank loot), the reason for the killing of the original dirtbag, Swan. Of course, who did it came next. As usual, when the chips are down, he loses his common sense. See, if he was watching what was going on, he'd have known that he needed a lawyer.
It's very interesting watching Perry uncork the crook's foul bottle of dishonesty. I like the way I said that, ..yeah, I know.... Unfortunately, after it's all in the record, the story reverts to Victorian drivel. Hopefully, Iris will tell Dan that she's gonna keep on truckin', and he's gotta be left on the curb. She must realize that she has zero friends in Pinion City, and she's started a good life in L.A. How did she know? Friends want to know YOUR side of it. THEY support you; those who don't aren't your friends, no matter what explanation they offer.
Marta Wiltern and Paul both drive beautiful 1961 Buicks. Hers is a sedan, his an Electra convertible. Creep who kicks it off has a sweet Jimmy pick-up with a plain camper shell on the back; the bunk inside is going the wrong way, by the way - there's not enough room to sleep crosswise in back unless you're real short. Tellin the truth, I can't recall what the interesting "old buggy" Miss Sarah had.
Very good acting, plot and a great old courtroom; the judge had a cool button tufted chair. Top notch episode, (R.I.P. Adam West).
