This story centers around So-Cal Mutual Investment Company. The president of the company is the mild Archer Bryant (Roland Winters) he has an executive secretary named Vera Wynne (Jeanne Bal). She is one of those people that seems to be keeping the office going when times are rough.
She believes that a young new office manager Clyde Darrell (Linden Chiles) is in love with her and she gives him some information that an stock broker Ian Jarvis (Parley Baer) is getting kick backs from stock purchases made by So-Cal.
In the mean time we learn that the secretary is not all she makes herself out to be. After the stock broker Ian Jarvis was fired, she calls him up and gives inside information about the company. she also taps the phone of the president.
When she finds out that Clyde is in love with another woman, she turns into a black widow and provides information that Clyde is stealing from the company. When she calls Clyde in the middle of the night to confront him- Clyde knocks Vera to the ground and he thinks he has killed her. He runs to get help but cannot find anyone. Later he is charged with the murder of Vera. Perry is there to defend him and find the true killer.
But hold on to your seats Perry fans. The ending is kind of bizarre. This is one of those episodes where Perry starts telling how the events must have happened and someone from the gallery confesses to two murders, forgery and theft all without the slightest evidence against the person in nearly the entire show. The story was very interesting but it seemed the ending was TV magic.
With all that said- it is still better than most things on TV today. Middle of the pack show for me.
