Season four begins as we get a nice little mystery involving murder and theft. But this time Perry uses some possible unethical conduct to save his client from the gas chamber. And from this information we know that this must be a good show to watch.
It begins as we see Hartley Basset, the owner of Basset Tool and Die, emerging from the airport. For some reason that was not may clear, Mr Basset has been away from the company and his wife for two years. In the mean time his wife, Sybil Basset, has taken his name off the company and promoted Peter Dawson as the president.
Right before a shareholders meeting that is to give Peter Dawson nearly all control of the company, Mr Basset comes rushing in to put a halt to the meeting and to retake his place as the president and owner. And one of the first thing he does is to fire Peter Dawson.
Perry, after being contacted by Mr Dawson, is suppose to have a meeting with Mr Basset over theft of money from the company. Upon arriving at the company find that Mr Basset has been murdered. Dick Hart, Basset's step-son, and his new wife, Teddi Hart, were also at the company when the murdered occurred. Teddi is knocked to the floor but gets a clear look at the shooter. Thus making her a key witness for the police.
But before the police can question her, Teddi goes missing and Lt Tragg believes Perry had something to do with the disappearance. Since all the evidence, including hair from a toupee, points to Peter Dawson as the murderer, Perry will have a difficult time defending him in court.
But with some trickery, Perry will find his way around the mounds of evidence to produce the real killer and the real motive for the murder. And the trickery will produce some criminal claims by Hamilton Burger.
Seems like there was a lot of needless information provided in this show to confuse the viewer and stretch the show out to the normal 52 minutes. But at the end it played well with the viewer. Maybe not the most exciting show but one that produces a good mystery for all viewers.
