Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe"
Director Arthur Marks
Teleplay Jackson Gillis
Story Erle Stanley Gardner's 1938
novel
Leonard Nimoy, the world-famous Mr.
Spock from the "Star Trek" series and movies,
makes an early TV appearance in this episode.
When Sarah Breel is accused of
shoplifting, Perry learns that the woman's sticky fingers
may have more to do with protecting her boozing, gambling
brother, George, than with kleptomania.
Later, George's partner Austin Cullins
is murdered and the police naturally suspect Sarah. Why?
First of all, Sarah was hit by a car while running from
the murder scene. Second, she had both the jewels and the
murder weapon in her purse. To make matters worse, George
winds up shot to death too. As usual, it's up to Perry to
straighten things out.
