The business partnership of Harry Bright (R.G. Armstrong) and Chuck Clark (William H. Wright)--and their lifelong friendship--comes to an abrupt end when Chuck marries the much-younger Margaret Roper (Nan Leslie). Harry regards Margaret as nothing but a cheap gold-digger, and is not too careful about telling everyone what he thinks of her. As a result, Harry is arrested when Margaret turns up murdered. Taking Harry's case, Perry (Raymond Burr) soon finds that there are quite a few people who like to have seen Margaret dead. Stafford Repp, aka "Chief O'Hara" on the 1960s version of Batman, appears in a small role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
