With great reluctance, Quincy (Jack Klugman) sets out to prove that wealthy Powell Dixon (George Gaynes) was murdered by his wife Jeannina (Ina Balin), who has a history of mental problems. What makes this particular case so difficult is that Jeannina and Quincy had been lovers back in their medical-school days. Things takes a wild and unexpected turn when Jeannina herself is apparently murdered--the first of several baffling events which culminate in a startling climactic twist. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Assigned to the Southwest Division, Officers Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and Jim Reed (Kent McCord) nab a suspected peeping tom who turns out to be an innocent gas-meter reader. Elsewhere, the two cops extricate a furniture store owner who has become trapped in a doorway while repossessing a sofa, and try to mollify an extremely angry father. And there's a memorable incident involving a starving artist, an expired permit, and a questionable "masterpiece." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While off duty, Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) stops a robbery in progress and shoots down a holdup man who turns out to be unarmed. When the man later dies, Pete is suspended pending a departmental investigation--and it's as nerve-wracking a procedure as the shooting itself. This episode marks one of the few on-camera appearances by Shaaron Claridge, normally heard but not seen as Rampart's ubiquitous police dispatcher ("One Adam-12...One Adam-12...") ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This is the third of four consecutive episodes in which Perry Mason appears only briefly, while a "guest" lawyer handles the case at hand (Raymond Burr was at the time recovering from minor surgery). Subbing for Perry on this occasion is Bruce Jason (Hugh O'Brian), a lawyer who normally specializes in cases involving the entertainment world. But there's nothing "entertaining" about the death of Iron-curtain dignitary Franz Schreck, who turns up murdered shortly after making a big-money deal to sell some top-secret papers to columnist Elihu Laban (Abraham Sofaer). Ultimately, Jason must defend Laban on a double-murder charge, and in the process ends up chasing "himself" in the form of a lookalike assassin (also played by Hugh O'Brian). Removed from the original Perry Mason syndicated rerun package in 1966, this episode remained on the shelf until it was telecast on cable TV in the mid-1990s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
