January 14, 1961 [109] "The
Case of the Resolute Reformer"
Director Arthur Marks
TeleplaySamuel Newman
This boozy, off-center episode has
Perry rather unbelievably representing a citizen's group
in hearings on a proposed aqueduct to be named after
county engineer William Harper Caine. There is some
question as to the acceptability of the proposed route,
and Perry gets a stop work order until a section of
Manzanita Canyon can be checked for an underground
spring.
But this story has more to do with
murder than drainage. Eventually, Caine needs Perry's
help when Roger Quigley, the project's chief contractor,
is murdered.
We get a good look at just how fast
Paul can be on his feet. During the investigation, the
detective is nearly seduced by a rum-soaked floozy and
breaks the record for the 100-yard dash to escape her
clutches.
