#21: The Case of the
Green-eyed Sister
Original Airdate: 02/08/58

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Perry displays one of his cleverest tricks when he passes a magnet over an incriminating tape recording and erases it. It's too bad that his client, Harriet Bain, has to go and get herself arrested for murder anyway, after all that trouble.

Comments Edit

The $50000 that Arthur West demands as blackmail would be about $367,517.30 today. The $25000 would be $183,758.65. billp 1/1/09.

When Burger has poor old Ned Bain hauled into Court, he tells him he can answer with impunity about the alleged theft (Statute of Limitations (SoL) having expired). I think that's only a half-truth (and a little typical of Burger). If the SOL has expired, there still would be the possibility of a civil suit by the Bank for the monies stolen and the profits derived thereof. As always, I could be wrong. billp 1/1/09.

This show marks one of the few times a foreign car, a Citroen, was featured in an episode. The use seems to have been tied to a desire to link Harriet Banes to the murder scene (although IIRC she wasn't actually driving it). billp 1/1/09.
