December 5, 1959 [77] "The
Case of the Bartered Bikini"
Director Arthur Hiller
TeleplayJackson Gillis
StoryJerome Ross and Jackson Gillis
A great beginning, and a portrayal of
the fifties fashion scene. Pirating, not on the high seas
but for bathing suit designs, sets the theme of one of
the most "pop" episodes of the Mason series.
Wally Dunbar seeks Perry's help in
securing ownership of his new summer line of swimwear.
But the sketches are stolen, and worse yet, chief
designer Rick Stassi is murdered. Dunbar's girlfriend
goes to trial on suspicion of both crimes. Stassi had
been blackmailing Kitty and the police think that is
motive enough. Because Paul searched Kitty's car at one
point, he makes an unusual appearance on the witness
stand during the trial. Through it all, Dunbar stands by
Kitty Wynne's side and even Perry is seen with a
comforting arm around her during a trial break.
We get a look at just how faithful
Della can be. She's seen sleeping on the office couch,
waiting for Perry to return and do some late night work
on the case.
