September 17, 1960 [96] "The
Case of the Treacherous Toupée"
Director Richard Kinon
Teleplay Maurice Zimm
Producer Herbert Hirschman
Robert Redford makes an early TV acting
appearance as Richard Hart in this, the premiere episode
of the Mason series' fourth season.
Hartley Basset returns from the dead
after two years. A tyrannical company president, he isn't
liked any better the second time around, a fact
underscored when someone puts two bullets in him. Poor
Peter Dawson was fired by Hartley on his return, making
him Tragg's prime suspect. Perry has two witnesses lined
up to testify that Dawson didn't do it. Hartley's
stepson, Dick Hart (Redford), and his new wife, Teddi,
both swear they saw a different assailant at the scene of
the crime.
It's an open and shut case until Teddi
and Dick disappear.
