Perry Mason is sitting in his office when a woman comes in.
She seems very distressed and tries to extract information from Mason on behalf
of “a friend” of hers. Mason sees through the ruse and challenges her on it.
But the reaction is quite unexpected—the woman gets up and walks out of the
office!
This leaves Perry Mason rather upset. He knows the woman is
in some sort of serious trouble, and he decides he will help her—this decision
is made when he finds out that the woman had left a $50 retainer with his
secretary! Luckily, the damsel in distress forgot her purse behind in the
office, and thus begins a trail as Perry Mason finds his client and then must
help her when she gets involved in a murder!
