November 19, 1964 [220] "The
Case of the Tragic Trophy"
Director Richard Donner
Teleplay Mann Rubin
Movie producer Tony Fry has been
squiring around his new fiancée, Kathy Anders, simply as
a publicity stunt. Fry, who's short on cash, wants to get
money for his latest flick from wealthy angel J. J.
Pennington. As a back-up plan, Fry is prepared to
blackmail Pennington's wife Joanne for the money, using
some "indiscretions" in her early acting days
as bait.
But Fry doesn't know that his
girlfriend Kathy Anders is actually Kathy James, daughter
of a cameraman whose career Fry had ruined. Kathy gets
incriminating photos of Fry with Mrs. Pennington and
later goes to his house to get other dirt on him. But Fry
surprises her and pops her. Trying to defend herself,
Kathy grabs a film trophy and clubs Fry. When his dead
body is discovered, she's arrested. However, Perry thinks
that Fry was killed by a second blow.
