February 20, 1966 [261] "The
Case of the Scarlet Scandal"
Director Jerry Hopper
TeleplayKenneth M. Rosen
Perry and Paul want to go fishing, but
a murder gets in their way. Elaine Bayler is a woman who
has been serving as a "patroness" for a young
musician named Donald Hobart. She's also the wife of the
Scarlet Center's leading citizen, Richard Bayler, who is
a client of Perry's.
Elaine is being blackmailed. Someone
wants $10,000 or else they'll tell her husband that she's
been having an affair with Hobart. Elaine drives out to
Scarlet Point with Donald to leave the money, but is
brutally shot and killed. The sheriff arrests the
musician, but the story twists when Hobart is released
and his girlfriend, Cynthia Perkins, is charged with the
crime. Perry successfully defends her, but pays a steep
price: By the time he's through, fishing season is over.
TV fans will recognize Will Hutchins of
"Sugarfoot," the successful Warner Brothers TV
Western of the 1950s, in the role of musician Donald
Hobart.
