#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.
