#256: The Case of the
Bogus Buccaneers
Original Airdate: 01/09/66
Summary Edit
From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
Tony Polk has a police record, but still manages to land a job as an actor on the "Bad Buccaneer" television program. Part of his job consists of delivering free gifts to viewers at their homes. Another actor trades lists with Tony and lands him in deep trouble. One of the women on the list is murdered with a buccaneer's hook, the one belonging to Tony. Not only that, but a neighbor says that Tony fought with the woman.
Perry takes the case and learns, among other things, that the dead woman was blackmailing the star of the "Bad Buccaneer" show.
