Story Sy Salkowitz
When Adam Thompson tells his two
nephews that a parcel of land will multiply five times in
value when he develops it, he decides to test their
honesty. He doesn't tell them where the land is. Instead,
he locks a map of the parcel in his safe and sets up an
infrared camera to photograph anyone opening the safe.
The next morning, although the safe is
unopened, someone buys the land before Adam can. The
buyer turns out to be Adam's foreman, who later is
murdered. Because he had fought with the foreman shortly
before the murder, Adam's nephew Harry (played by Bert
Convy) is arrested for the crime and seeks Perry's
expertise to get him off.
