November 5, 1960 [102] "The
Case of the Clumsy Clown"
Director Andrew V. McLaglen
Teleplay Samuel Newman
Murder as a three-ring circus. A famous
clown named Felix is secretly married to a woman who is
"pretending" to be married to the owner of the
circus they both work for. When a struggle for control of
the circus breaks out, the clown comes to Perry for
advice.
Paul, Perry, and Della go to the circus
and are surprised to see Lt. Tragg is also attending.
During the performance the horrified onlookers see a
clown shoot and kill one of the circus's owners in the
middle of the act, then run from the tent. When Felix is
later charged with the murder, Perry has to figure out
who was really in that clown suit.
