September 20, 1958 [40] "The
Case of the Corresponding Corpse"
Perry gets a phone call from George Hartley Beaumont, a man who supposedly died in a plane crash over the Atlantic nearly three years before. Actually, George missed that plane and decided to take advantage of the accident to disappear, letting his wife collect the $90,000 insurance policy. Meanwhile George has been living incognito with his girlfriend, Ruth Whittaker. George grows tired of life-on-a-limb and wants to return home. His plans are cut short, however, when someone buries a letter opener in his back. Perry defends Ruth when she's arrested for the murder.
