Although Raymond Burr did not enter a courtroom in this episode he did solve a murder, in fact a couple of them. In doing so he pulled the chestnuts out of the fire for Fred Vincent who is a soldier stationed in Europe and who has fallen for Susanne Cramer whose aunt runs a resort hotel where all kinds of intrigue is going on.
It seems as though in this Alpine Lake it is rumored that Nazis hid a vast treasure at the bottom of it. That's got a whole lot of people gathered at the hotel, a veritable international list of treasure hunters. Among them are Americans Robert Emhardt a rich businessman and Gerald Mohr an expatriate movie star.
When army colonel Jim Davis winds up dead and Vincent found with gun in hand at the body, it's a good thing Perry Mason is there. For all intents and purposes, he's the client and what happens to all of Perry Mason's clients happens here.
Gerald Mohr has an interesting role, very suggestive of William Holden who was residing in Switzerland at the time to avoid taxes. And Werner Klemperer plays the German cop and one who is vastly different from Colonel Wilhelm Klink.
A variation on the usual Perry Mason episode, but not all that different.
