Trivia Edit

Comments Edit

Is the happy ending really appropriate here? Perry clears his client, of course, but in a way that it seems the inheritance should fall to the loathsome George Gage, who wants to close the children's foundation. So the cheerful softball game at the end here might be out of place! Submitted by Ed Zoerner, 4/25/09.

+Juvenile actor Dennis Rush makes his only Perry appearance here as Timmy. Dennis Rush is best known for his 8 appearances as Howie Pruitt, one of Opie Taylor's friends on the long running Andy Griffith Show. Submitted by PaulDrake 33. 24 November 2009.
