In this episode we get a beautiful Elaine Barton (Kipp Hamilton) that falls in love with business man named Ross Hollister. The only problem is that Elaine is already married to a really peachy person named Harry Pitkin. He is refusing to give Elaine a divorce so that she can marry Ross. Harry is blackmailing Elaine and states many times that he will get a divorce if only she provided enough money.
Ross also has a business partner named Shelia Cromwell (Virginia Gregg) that is in love with him from afar and does not seem to happy with the idea of Ross and Elaine possibly getting married.
Anyway the cad Harry Pitkin ends up dead in Elaine's apartment and was killed by a gun owned by Elaine. She just happened to meet Perry when he was investigating a hit-and-run case and calls him for help. Thus we go to the courtroom with Perry defending Elaine for the murder of Harry Pitkin, her estranged husband.
There are a couple of sub-plots that are keen to the story like the hit-and-run investigation. And we also have a problem with the books at Ross and Shelia's company. This will prove most helpful in finding the actual killer.
Even though this show was interesting and I considered a good watch, there is so over-acting in the show that could have been turned down a few notches. In one scene a person is on the witness stand and was asked a simple question. The next thing I know is that person is so upset that they cannot continue and court is postpone till the next day. I am sure that was written in the script but the actor seems to be taking it to new heights with the long shaking and crying.
One scene I thought was funny was when Elaine is waiting for Perry to come to her apartment. Perry asks why she feels the need to talk with him. Elaine says, "I'm in trouble". To which Perry says, "What do you call trouble?" Then she opens her bedroom door to reveal the dead body of Harry. Folks, that is trouble.
I considered this a good watch for everything that a Perry fan wants in an episode. Interesting story and a need to watch the entire episode because of the interest in the characters.
