Director Jessie Hibbs

Gillis StoryAlbert V. Vail
Because of her husband's recent demise,
Lucille Forrest is the richest widow in Forrest Junction,
California. Unfortunately, shortly before she became a
widow, Lucille's son was killed in what appeared to have
been a hunting accident. Although Lucille is convinced
her son was murdered, a provision in her husband's will
forbids her from investigating the death.
She goes to Perry for help. He has Paul
investigate the matter, but this quickly ends when Ralph
Day, a newspaperman Lucille suspects of killing her son,
dies himself. Already suffering from a bleeding ulcer
(typical for newspapermen), Day bled to death because his
system was full of rattlesnake venom. When the police
learn that Lucille was using the venom as a folk cure for
her own ailments, they arrest her for murder.
