#150: The Case of the
Counterfeit Crank
Original Airdate: 04/28/62

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
A young Burt Reynolds has a bit part in this episode, and Connie Hines (Carol in "Mr. Ed") plays the victim's wife.

Businessman August Dalgran enjoys throwing money away. In the opening scene he is dropping fistsful of dollars from his office window and gleefully observing the pedestrians below as they scramble for the loot.

Gus agrees to psychiatric testing but later, when he is accused of killing his nephew Kenneth, he admits the insanity was all an act.

Trivia Edit

At August Dahlgran's competency hearing, Perry intervenes saying "...Section 1461 of the California Probate Code provides that any relative or friend of the alleged insane or incompetent person may appear and oppose such a petition." There is in fact such a code and section. Read it here if you dare. Submitted by Steve Fox, 12/2/04. [Perry's statement doesn't seem to jibe with the current code.]
