#224: The Case of the
Blonde Bonanza
Original Airdate: 12/17/64
From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Dianne Adler, a friend of Della's from back home, has the face of an angel and a figure that was voted the best in the Smoky Mountains. Dianne has come to L.A. to work a modeling job that actually calls for her to gain weight.
Now why would someone pay her $200 a week for two years to ruin her figure? Dianne says that Harrison Boring hired her to model a new line of clothes made for women just a little overweight.
When Perry sees a clause in Dianne's contract calling for her to split 50-50 with Boring any money she earns over $200 a week, he gets curious. But, when Boring is killed, it's only the beginning of Perry's troubles....
