of the Silent Partner"
Director Christian Nyby
TeleplayDonald S. Sanford
StoryErle Stanley Gardner's 1940 novel
Mildred Kimber gets mixed up with some
"bad seeds" who try to con her weak-willed
husband out of her rare orchid business via a fixed poker
game. When a couple of these jokers are poisoned, Mil is
sent to the slammer.
Although Hamilton Burger threatens to
charge Perry with everything from unethical conduct to
manslaughter, it doesn't keep Perry from making bold
moves. As usual, he and Paul Drake are at the scene of
the crime before the police are, wearing out their
hankies handling evidence without leaving their
fingerprints.
