September 19, 1965 [243] "The
Case of the Fatal Fortune"
Director Arthur Marks
Teleplay William Bast
Pat Kean is a levelheaded career woman
who goes to see an astrological fortune teller for a lark but the predictions begin to come true. For
one thing, Max Armstead, her kindly but much older boss,
proposes to her.
The mystic predicted Pat would
"wear white, then widow's black." Pat marries
Max, prediction or not. But things begin to work out
badly. Max gets a letter saying that Pat is running
around on him, even though she isn't. Then Max's heart
condition gets more critical and he dies. But it wasn't a
heart attack. In full view of Perry and Lt. Drumm, Max
says, "She poisoned me!" then collapses. He's
dead of an overdose of digitalis.
Burger gets an indictment against Pat
for first-degree murder. Perry has to dig through the
supernatural to solve the case.
