#141: The Case of the
Tarnished Trademark
Original Airdate: 01/20/62

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Axel Norstaad and his small Danish community of furniture craftsmen are hoodwinked into selling their much respected trademark to Martin Somers on a promise that the profits will build a children's hospital.

When Axel learns that Somers is a con man, he's enraged and wants to bash in the crook's skull. Although someone beats him to it, Axel is arrested for the murder anyway. To complicate matters, Axel is in love with Edie Morrow, whom he suspects of foul play in the matter.

It's a tough one for Perry, but well worth the win.

When Edie Morrow takes the stand, she's wearing a narrow brimmed hat. When the camera angle changes, so does her hat. The original hat reappears later in the scene only to change again shortly afterwards. See all here. Submitted by daveb, date unknown.
