October 31, 1959 [74] "The
Case of the Startled Stallion"
Director William D. Russell
TeleplayJonathan Latimer
Wealthy but crippled rancher John Brant
forecloses on Jo Ann Blanchard's mortgage and takes
possession of her prize horse. Jo Ann goes to Perry for
help; first, in getting the horse back, and second, when
she's arrested for killing the rancher.
Although the murder was set up to look
as if the horse killed Brant, a bloody jack handle was
found in Jo Ann's car. Perry digs into the case and the
deeper he goes, the stranger it gets.
However, nothing is as strange as the
ending scene: Jo Ann, ever so grateful to Perry for
getting her off, confesses that she cannot afford to pay
him. Unmiffed, Perry simply says: "That's OK."
