#159: The Case of the
Dodging Domino
Original Airdate: 11/01/62

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Someone entered Phil Schuyler's bungalow on Halloween and threw an electric heater into the bathtub while Phil was taking a bath. He never knew what hit him. An eyewitness testifies that only Damion White (played by David Hedison of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea") went into the bungalow during the time of the murder, but Perry thinks otherwise. After all, weren't trick-or-treaters coming and going all night long?

Future Academy Award winner Ellen Burstyn appears in this episode.

Trivia Edit

+In the summary it is mentioned that Academy Award winner Ellen Burystn appears in this episode. An even more famous actor also appears here. Robert "Rusty" Stevens makes his only Perry appearance playing a young boy. He was 13 at the time. Rusty Stevens will forever hold a place in all baby boomers hearts as the character Larry Mondello on Leave It To Beaver. All information I have been able to scrape up shows that Mr. Stevens is still alive in the New Jersey-New York area. Submitted by PaulDrake 33. 2 September 2009.
