#131: The Case of the
Travelling Treasure
Original Airdate: 11/04/61

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Perry is all set to go deep-sea fishing with Paul aboard the Viajero II, a fishing boat out of San Diego owned by Perry's friend Scot Cahill. But when Cahill's regular customer has the boat for the weekend, Perry has to charter another boat. Later, Perry gets a ship-to-shore phone call from Scot. The Coast Guard, acting on a tip, boarded the Viajero II looking for gold stolen from the Alchemy Mine. They found some bullion-and a dead man, Karl Magovern. Later, the autopsy reveals the stiff was killed with a fatal dose of digitalis. Worse, the police charge Scot with the murder, thinking he and the murdered man were partners in stealing the gold bullion.

Trivia Edit

Watch the service ribbons on that Coast Guard lieutenant after he finds the victim on the fishing boat. Submitted by Tom Lewis, 11/17/04.

Nearly positive about this... Perry and Paul are deep sea fishing off the back of a boat. Perry gets a bite and we see a Marlin jumping and skipping across the water. That clip of the fish is from the Bogart/Bacall movie To Have and Have Not. By odd coincidence, we saw the episode and the movie on the same day! Submitted by email by Mike Fried, 11/8/07.
