#123: The Case of the
Guilty Clients
Original Airdate: 06/10/61

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Two girls from Argentina cause quite a stir in America. Lola Bronson, a real spitfire, and cousin Concepcion O'Higgins are in court to settle Lola's divorce from an American, Jeff Bronson.

The couple are glad to be rid of each other until Bill Ryder sabotages Jeff's business by crashing one of his best airplanes and making a play for Lola.

When Bill is found with three bullets in his body, Lola and Jeff are suspects for the murder. Now the same two people who battled out their divorce in the courtroom are battling to cover for each other.

Violet Ryder is played by Barbara Stuart (once Sergeant Carter's girl, Bunny, on "Gomer Pyle").

Trivia Edit

+Ben Wright makes his third and final appearance here as Clarence Keller. Ben Wright was a famous voice actor on radio in the 40's and 50's.

Location: The brief establishing shot showing the Los Angeles airport passenger terminal at the intersection of Airport Blvd. and Avion Drive appears to have been lifted, in part, from #96, TCOT Treacherous Toupee. That's actually Paul Drake and Dick Hart in the car. Posted by daveb, 3//2/10.

Location: Street numbers in Perry Mason episodes are usually real. Consequently based on the "12930" on he Bronson Aircraft shack and the overall topography I would say this location is probably 12930 Pierce Street along side Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, CA. Whiteman Airport is a small airport some Hollywood stars used which is tucked in the north east corner of the San Fernando Valley next to mountains which are visible in this episode.
