#149: The Case of the
Borrowed Baby
Original Airdate: 04/14/62

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Perry and Della return to the office after dinner to finish up some work and are startled to find a four-week-old baby boy in a basket on Perry's desk. Perry perceives someone to be in trouble, since he doesn't believe in storks.

Before long, the alleged mother shows up, with a trail of trouble behind her. She is arrested for murder, but not before Perry finds out that this little baby that he and Della have been caring for may be the heir to the vast Kerrick fortune.

Trivia Edit

+Charles Thompson makes his only Perry appearance here playing the car man. Mr. Thompson was unique in that he was almost 60 years old before he ever began acting. Most people best remember Mr. Thompson as Asa Breeney, the inept security guard on The Andy Griffith Show. Submitted by PaulDrake 33. 2 September 2009.

Yet another triumphant appearance by Della's monogrammed dress! It does seem to fit a bit snugger each time, though. Ed Zoerner, 7/9/10.
