#55: The Case of the
Fraudulent Foto
Original Airdate: 02/07/59

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
District Attorney Brander Harris of Waring County is the victim of smear tactics. A young woman lures him into being photographed in a compromising embrace with her. Later, Harris is implicated in the death of the manipulator, Marshall Scott.

Perry does a role reversal in this episode. Besides defending the DA, Perry is appointed assistant district attorney so as not to cancel a grand jury.

Trivia Edit

CARS: 1959 Cadillac series 62 convertible, black, black & white interior, white top up (Mason). From The Cars by Greg Cockerill.

In the third office scene, dictating to Della, Perry says "U.S. Code, Annotated, Section 454, U.S. against Thomas, D.C. Washington, 1943." This is very likely a real case. Submitted by Steve Fox, 10/8/2004.
