Here is a classic 'Perry Mason' show as we get all the aspects of a mystery and all the cover-up of the cast members. And as we all know this leads to an exciting episode.
It begins when Peter Caine hits a man while driving home drunk. His passenger, Debra Bradford, takes control of the car and they leave the scene. The next day Peter feels bad about the accident but instead of reporting the incident to the police, Debra tells him that she has checked and the man is not severely injured and it would be better to buy his property, he has been trying to sell, so him and his wife can retire. Peter goes along.
Peter's father, William Cain, is the County Chief Engineer and is responsible for an aqueduct being built. When the project is stopped for possible re-route, which will bankrupt the contractor Roger Quigley, he learns that the land purchased for the new pathway goes right through the property that Peter Caine purchased. Sounds like conflict of interest by the Chief engineer.
When Roger Quigley is found dead, William Caine is seen holding the gun. Mr Caine will be defended in court by Perry and will have a tough job of going through the mounds of testimonial evidence that looks poor for his client.
A very nice mystery. We will learn there are more things going on in this episode than meets the eye. When one unlikely witness advises that they were driving in an all-night motor rally the house of cards being to fall. Good watch.
