March 4, 1965 [232] "The Case
of the Fatal Fetish"
Director Charles R. Rondeau
TeleplaySamuel Newman
Fay Wray plays Mignon Germaine, a
voodoo dancer whose son Larry (played by actor/talk-show
host Gary Collins) is no less than the assistant of
Hamilton Burger.
Larry is handling a case of criminal
fraud against Allied Chemical, a charge he'd like to
drop. But then Larry's girlfriend, Carina, claims that
Larry compromised himself by offering a deal on the fraud
case in exchange for a partnership in the law firm
representing Allied. Hamilton has no choice; he suspends
Larry.
Larry's voodoo-dancer mother will do
anything to help him. During a performance, Mignon
approaches Carina's table and pins a voodoo doll to the
table with a ceremonial dagger. Carina immediately falls
into a coma. It's not black magic she's suffering from,
it's pep pills. Larry doesn't help his resumé any when
he is later found in Carina's hospital room, standing
over her body, which has the ceremonial dagger protruding
from it.
