In The Case Of The Hasty Honeymooner it looked for a while like the Perry Mason paradigm has shifted. For a while it looked Raymond Burr would be defending a guilty man in the person of roguish Noah Beery, Jr.
Beery comes to Burr via a reference from Dan Tobin who became a series regular in its last season as a restaurant owner at whose establishment the series regulars would unwind. The way that Val Bisoglio's place was for the Quincy regulars. Beery was in Tobin's outfit during World War II and had a reputation as an operator.
Anway Beery comes into Mason's office and asks him to draw up a pair of wills for his wife to leave each other their property. But Beery has no wife or at least one who's living. In fact he's had two previously both deceased. And a matrimonial matchmaking agency headed by Hugh Marlowe and K.T. Stevens has matched up Beery and Cathy Downs for an upcoming wedding.
And on the wedding night Downs is poisoned and Beery is in a jackpot and I have to say looking real good for the deed. It's quite a complex bit of business, but of course Beery the rogue is really innocent.
Can it be any other way on Perry Mason?
