Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Martha Bradford (Nancy Gates) was blissfully unaware that her husband Joe (Bruce Cowling) is leading a double life until she meets a woman named Rita (Doris Singleton), who insists that she is Mrs. Joe Bradford. Soon afterward, Joe is found murdered, and Rita's fingerprints are found at the scene. The dilemma facing Perry Mason (Raymond Burr): did his client Martha kill Joe, or is Wife Number Two the guilty party--or neither of the above? This episode is based on a 1944 novel byPerry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner.
