Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Ted Chase (Paul Richards) has long suspected that his second wife Irene (Mari Blanchard) is unfaithful. Now he is also convinced that Irene was responsible for the death of his beloved first wife Ellen--and is currently conspiring with the owner of gun shop to bump off Ted as well. To save himself, Ted contemplates killing Irene, but someone beats him to it. Even so, Ted is charged with the crime, whereupon defense attorney Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) begins to dig deeply into Irene's unbelievably sordid past. Several previous Perry Mason guest stars make noteworthy return appearances in this episode, among them Ann Rutherford and Jesse White.
