#90: The Case of the
Nimble Nephew
Original Airdate: 04/23/60

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book
When Adam Thompson tells his two nephews that a parcel of land will multiply five times in value when he develops it, he decides to test their honesty. He doesn't tell them where the land is. Instead, he locks a map of the parcel in his safe and sets up an infrared camera to photograph anyone opening the safe.

The next morning, although the safe is unopened, someone buys the land before Adam can. The buyer turns out to be Adam's foreman, who later is murdered. Because he had fought with the foreman shortly before the murder, Adam's nephew Harry (played by Bert Convy) is arrested for the crime and seeks Perry's expertise to get him off.

Trivia Edit

After the discovery of Jarrett's body, Perry and Lt. Tragg have a discussion outside the garage. Watch Lt. Tragg's finger. He gently touches or prods Perry on the lapel. Tragg is then clearly seen crossing his arms. Immediately afterwards, Tragg is seen with his finger still on Perry's lapel.

+Murder defendant Harry Thompson is played by Bert Convy, making his only appearance on Perry. Bert Convy is best known as a game show host, hosting "Tattletales" on CBS from 1974-1978, winning a daytime Emmy for best game show host in 1977. Sadly, Bert Convy passed away much too early. He died in 1991 at the age of 57 of brain cancer. Submitted by PaulDrake 33.

+The combination to Adam Thompson's safe is 80-20-80, seen early in the show. Submitted by PaulDrake 33.

+After the firing of William Talman, there were many "Assistant D.A.'s" and "Deputy D.A.'s" tried out. In this show Robert Gist is introduced as Deputy D.A. Claude Drumm. In 1954 Robert Gist wed Agnes Morehead. At the time he was 29 and she was 54. Apparently Robert Gist was just not up Hamilton Burger standards since he only lasted this one show. Submitted by PaulDrake 33.
