This could have been an episode where the courtroom testimony could hinder the shows connection to the viewer. Whenever we have someone called to the witness stand to testify on handwriting signatures that include documents and checks, it can get boring real fast. But in this show they find a way to keep the mystery interesting and the viewer entertained - and the testimony will produce a gallery confession that will lead to charges being dropped on Perry's client.
The episode begins as Willard Nesbitt, a part owner of a investment and mining company, has been reported drowned while on a local boating outing. The truth is that Mr Nesbitt had survived but due to his poor health and the double indemnity insurance feels better for his wife's financial situation and goes off to live the last few months of his life away from the grind of work.
However a few days later, after discovering gold in a parcel of land, his partner, Loyd Castle, has a document that claims Nesbitt dissolved the partnership for $10,000 and that is all the money that Eva Nesbitt (Willard's wife) is entitled. And Eva goes to see Perry to make sure that she will be paid something from the company.
Well it only takes a few more days when Willard, living outside of town, reads where the company hit gold and realized that his wife is being shafted. But the next day he is really found dead from a gunshot wound and all the evidence points to Eva as the shooter. Perry will defend her in court for the charges brought by Hamilton Burger's office.
A good mystery with many suspects. With a good cast and a good mystery- it makes the episode a good watch for viewers.
