Raymond Burr is in Vegas for a fight, and gets into a bigger one when John Posey goes on trial for murder and his daughter, Jenny Lewis guilts him into defending her father.
It's a pretty good entry into the TV Movie series that Burr starred in a quarter of a century after the TV series ended. Burr remains just as commanding, and his associates, Barbara Hale (still playing Della Street) and William Moses (playing his associate, available for footwork and getting punched in the nose) give the series continuity. There are plenty of well-remembered actors on tap, including Robert Culp and Robert Vaughn.
Will Perry's client turn out to be innocent? Will the murderer confess on the witness stand? Lawyers say you should never ask a question you don't know the answer to.
