Richard Vanaman (Arthur Franz) was secure in the belief that he was up for a promotion at the investment firm where he works. Alas, someone seems determined to sabotage him--and worse, he is targeted by a blackmailer. But this is not the end of Vanaman's woes: when Sylvia Welles (Joyce Meadows) is murdered, he is arrested for the crime--and now Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) must somehow make sense of the whole sordid affair. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
