Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Secretary Gladys Dole (played by future Oscar winner Lucille Fletcher) encounters one perilous obstacle after another while running an errand for her employer, best-selling author Mauvis Meade (Beverly Garland). Things get really bad for Gladys when she stumbles upon a dead body in a mountain cabin, and is charged with murder. In his efforts to defend Gladys in court, Perry (Raymond Burr) must contend with the fact that his client has apparently been moonlighting as a go-between for the Mob--not to mention the fact that the murder cabin was rented in Gladys' name. This episode is based on a 1959 novel by Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner.
