Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Dr. Blane (Don Beddoe) asks Perry (Raymond Burr) for advice in dealing with his scapegrace son-in-law Jack Hardisty (Fredd Wayne), who has already embezzled thousands of dollars from the doctor and intends to blackmail the poor man out of even more money. Perry decides to confront Hardisty and stop in his tracks--but a murderer has beaten him to it. Unfortunately, Blane is charge with the crime by rural DA Hale (Paul Fix). The key to Perry's defense of the doctor is a candid camera. . .and as it turns, sometimes pictures DO lie! This episode is based on a 1943 novel by Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner.
