Bill Williams, real-life husband of Perry Mason costar Barbara Hale (Della Street), appears as Mike Preston, an embittered oilman determined to get even with the man who crippled him and stole $100,000. When Harlow Phipps (Noah Keen) is murdered, Preston is framed for the crime by his elusive enemy, whereupon Preston's lovelorn housekeeper Lydia hires Perry to defend her boss in court. The solution to the case is tied in with an earlier incident wherein Preston angrily confronted a pair of hunters who shot and wounded a cougar near his property. (Ironically, this episode originally aired the same week that TV Guide featured a cover story about Barbara Hale). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
