March 21, 1959 [60] "The Case
of the Lost Last Act"
Director Gerd Oswald
TeleplayMilton Krims
When playwright Ernest Royce is found
shot to death in much the same manner as a character in
one of his unproduced plays, Perry is puzzled by
coincidences. Royce's play dealt with characters very
close to real people, and a murder very close to the real
murder case of underworld figure Rick Valponi, who was
killed in New York City twelve years before. Frank
Brooks, Perry's client, was there at the time, as were
most of the other principals in the case. Perry is
convinced Royce's murder and the play are connected, but
the crucial last act is missing. It will be the finale
for Brooks if Perry cannot find the missing piece.
