#99: The Case of the
Singular Double
Original Airdate: 10/08/60

Summary Edit

From The Perry Mason TV Show Book (Revised)
Perry himself is accused of obstructing justice when a woman—who previously faked her own suicide by running her empty car off a cliff—is accused of murdering the battered woman whom police found in the wreck.

Fans of Mister Ed will recognize Connie Hines, who played Wilbur’s wife in the popular comedy series, as Lucy Stevens, the defendant in this case.

Trivia Edit

According to the testimony of Hugo Burnette, an airplane flight from New York to Los Angeles in 1960 takes 5 1/2 hours. Submitted by PaulDrake 33, 6/30/2009.

Location: This episode opens at the Burbank Airport and you can see the exterior of the terminal and parking lot. I confirmed this with Les Copeland, president, of the Burbank Aviation Museum. Burbank Airport is now called Bob Hope Airport and has a slightly different facade. It is also featured in episodes #39, #99, #165, #220 and #258. Posted by Eric Cooper, 19 February 2010. Some pictures here.

Location: Quick shot of Stanley Mosk Courthouse about 30 minutes into the episode. Submitted by Eric Cooper, 28 September 2010.

Sightings: In the courtroom gallery, we find the Little Old Lady in a Hat, Distinguished Gentleman #1, “Miss Carmody,” Quiet Old Men #1 and #2, Distinguished Lady #2, and The Thin Man. Quite a crowd! More about these people here. Posted by daveb, 10/19/2010.
+ At a dramatic moment when Della, Perry, and Paul are conferring before a phone booth, Quiet Old Man #2 strolls by, dressed in a dark suit and hat. Submitted by gracenote, 23 June 2011.

A few cups from the Curious Coffee Set make an appearance in Perry's office. More info here. Submitted by daveb, 12/30/2010.

Comments Edit


Marjorie Ralston must have had a lot of time on her hands, since I counted about 12 bundles of money, each one containing about 250 pieces of newspaper cut to the size of a $20 dollar bill. That would be 3000 pieces of newspaper cut up. Surely she could have used something a little less time consuming to take the place of the real money. Submitted by PaulDrake 33, 10/24/2010.

+ And speaking of the cut up money, why didn’t Locke or Burnette think to examine the cut up newspaper for a date and the name of the newspaper. Since Lucy Stevens had just flown in from New York, there would have been no way she could have cut up 3000 pieces of an old Los Angeles newspaper. Submitted by PaulDrake 33, 10/24/2010.
