#20: The Case of the
Lonely Heiress
Original Airdate: 02/01/58

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
We catch Paul reading a copy of Lonely Hearts Calling magazine in his office.

He's "on duty," hired to investigate an ad placed by a lonely heiress named Marilyn Cartwright who is looking for male companionship. Or so she says. The heiress is really looking for the con man who drove her sister to suicide.

When Marilyn does find the man, Barnaby Baker, she turns on the charm convincingly. She hopes to catch him red-handed in the act of embezzlement and fraud, and turn him over to the police. Baker is murdered before Marilyn can get the goods on him. Perry's job is to convince the police that Marilyn didn't kill the man in an act of revenge.

Trivia Edit

CARS: 1957 Cadillac convertible, black (Mason), 1957 Chevrolet 150 4dr sedan, black (Police). From The Cars by Greg Cockerill.

+In the opening scene, George Moore goes to the Lonely Hearts office to collect the letters from box 96. The numbers of the post office boxes in the office are all jumbled up and in no particular order. The row of 91-92-93 etc runs right down the middle of the post office boxes running between 42 and 43, 32 and 33 etc. This would make it extremely difficult for someone to post the letters.
