October 7, 1961 [127] "The
Case of the Malicious Mariner"
Director Christian Nyby
Teleplay Robert Leslie Bellem
During a terrible storm, first officer
Jerry Griffin does his duty and dumps $1 million worth of
goods into the sea to lessen the danger of sinking the Janeel
Trader, a cargo freighter. Once on shore,
Jerry's a little surprised when he is hauled before the
Coast Guard maritime court, which holds him responsible
for the loss of the $1 million cargo.
Jerry needs Captain Bancroft's
testimony to clear his name, but the old man is murdered
before the trial. Now Jerry is falsely accused of that
crime too. Perry comes on as Jerry's attorney and
investigates what he feels is gross injustice. Paul gets
a free trip to the Orient when Perry has him check up on
the lost cargo.
