The show begins with Mr. Kirby (played by Dabbs Greer) stopped by police while holding $92k, described by the policeman as ten years of a sergeant's pay. Kirby is doing a favor for his war buddy Doc Morris, who has an unhappy marriage to the woman who becomes Perry's client. Doc seems to have died in a private plane crash and Mrs. Morris may have slipped him a thermos with drugged coffee. But Kirby is missing and Perry pays a visit to Mrs. Kirby (Jeanette Nolan), who is running Kirby's Drive-in in Loganville. This gives rise to an interchange used in Mason promos: hamburgers 35 cents and that includes fries. No thanks I'm on a diet. To Perry: you guys are slick as okra. Tragg and Berger interview Mrs. Kirby who says to them. You guys afraid of her lawyer Mr. Mason?
Perry turns the case by careful assessment of traits of the characters. There is a guy with a photographic memory. You know the second license plate number will come into play. The initial line about life insueance will also come into play.
