March 29,1958 [28] "The Case
of the Daring Decoy"
Director Anton M. Leader

StoryErle Stanley Gardner's 1957 novel
Perry is attending a bar association
dinner when Daniel Conway approaches him to say he's just
found his rival's secretary, dead. Conway is sure he is
being framed for murder. He's involved in a vicious proxy
war with Warner Griffith over Cal-Texas Exploration.
Perry thinks he can solve this one in a
jiffy, and tries to corral Griffith into a confession.
He's surprised and puzzled to get an ironclad alibi
instead. That doesn't stop Perry from finding a unique,
if weird, witness who has a photographic memory and can
identify people by their shoes.
We see a very dapper Perry in this
episode (check out his bow tie). Also, watch the sparks
fly between Perry and Della during this case.
