#23: The Case of the
One-eyed Witness
Original Airdate: 02/22/58

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Della and Perry make an attempt at dinner in a romantic French restaurant only to be interrupted by business as usual. Perry gets a phone call and an envelope containing $500 from a mysterious woman. She wants him to make an exchange for her: the money for some documents.

It's amazing enough that a lawyer would put himself on the line for a woman he's never met; but it's incredible that he's still willing to represent her after the drop-off point turns out to be the scene of a murder.

The mystery woman, Marian Fargo, is played by a young and dark-haired Angie Dickinson. Charles Gallagher is played by Paul Picerni--fifties "jock" and war-movie hero.

Perry and Della dine at the classy Ferrolds Cafe. Perry complains about the $1 price of coffee. Across the room is a picture of a woman in a white dress. It's an 1895 poster of May Milton by Toulouse-Lautrec. No wonder Mr. Ferrold charges so much! Learn more at the San Diego Museum exhibition. Submitted by Leah, 7/12/02.
