#247: The Case of the
Carefree Coronary
Original Airdate: 10/17/65

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
This is the episode where Perry asks Paul about his bedside manner, then sends him off to investigate the increase in heart attacks for the Safeline Insurance Company.

Perry appears to have gone too far when he tries to prove convalescent fraud and pushes an ex-fighter to his limit. The guy dies of a heart attack.

Perry suspects he was poisoned but the insurance company suspects Perry . . . of murder.

Trivia Edit

Location: Right after the scene where Della says Paul is dying, there's an establishing shot of a building. It's the L.A. County USC hospital in Boyle Heights known as "Big County." See here. Submitted by Mitch English, 5/21/05.

Location: Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. An establishing shot of the arena appears early in the show. See here. Submitted by Scott Pekeris, 7/1/05.

Location: About 36 minutes in Paul says he's on Sycamore and Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood and lo and behold he is. If you look to his left you can see a woman with some kids and to the left of them you can see the Travelodge at 7051 Sunset. It is still there. See Google maps street view here. Want more proof? Look closely at the top corner of the building. You can clearly see the little "sleepy bear in pj's" which was Travelodge's logo in the 1960's painted on the top left corner of the building.

Location: About 37 minutes in Paul gets dropped off at the YMCA which is still at 1553 N. Schrader Blvd. in Hollywood. If you look closely you can see "1553" on the building as Paul enters. The YMCA would be about 8 blocks east of the previous Sycamore and Sunset location. Posted by Eric Cooper 9/2/09. Some pictures here.
