Tom Wyatt (John Hudson) might have become rich by inventing a cure for a rare fish disease called gilled fever, but for the fact that his boss Jackson Hurley (Murvyn Vye) took credit for the invention. Thus, when Hurley is murdered, Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins) charges Wyatt with the crime. In his efforts to prove Wyatt's innocence, Perry (Raymond Burr) has a fascinating interview with the dead man's curvaceous secretary. Featured in the cast are such Hollywood favorites as Cecil Kellaway and May Wynn, the latter best known for playing a character named May Wynn (!) in The Caine Mutiny (1954). This episode is adapted from The Case of the Gold Digger's Purse, a novel by Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner.
