Wealthy Timothy Balfour Sr. (Otto Kruger) draws up a new will leaving a great deal of money to his namesake grandson Tim (John Washbrook), but the lad may not be worthy of such an honor. Well on the way to becoming a full-fledged "J.D.", Tim is shaken down by hoodlum crony Chick Montana (David Winters), who wants to boy to get his hands on his inheritance ahead of time, or else he'll tell the cops about Tim's involvement in a liquor-store holdup. When Chick is bumped off, Tim faces a murder charge, whereupon Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) is galvanized into action. Featured in the cast is Roland Winters, formerly the movies' "Charlie Chan".
