Double-Entry Mind
Original Airdate: 11/01/62 Revised

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book (Revised)
Mild-mannered Sandy Sandover has meticulously embezzled $201,000 over many years; but it’s a double-cross and the double-murder of the woman who has his wife’s old job that make all the trouble for him.

Trivia Edit

Location: The interior seen in the opening is that of the Bradbury Building. The large center opening has been used in many show shots. Show picture and more here. Submitted by Mitch English, 1/11/2006.
