Synopsis by Hal Erickson

No one would ever suspect meek, mild bookkeeper Clem Sandover (Stuart Erwin) of embezzling $201,000 from his company--which is probably why Sandover has gotten away with just that. Discovering the shortage, Sandover's fellow employee Lita Krail (Kathleen Hughes) threatens to blow the whistle, only to be promptly murdered. Sandover's wife Beth (Virginia Christine) is accused of the crime, whereupon Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) takes over her defense, using existing evidence to argue that the dead woman was killed twice (!) This is one of the rare Perry Mason episodes in which the "most likely" suspect (who, incidentally, is NOT Beth Sandover) actually turns out to be the killer.
