The episode begins as Perry is defending Louise Selff for a charge of murder. She is accused of murdering her husband on a yacht and disposing the body in the ocean. With the body never found and the testimony all circumstantial, the Judge throws out the charge due to insufficient evidence.
After the court hearing Ms Selff is haunted by seeing visions of her dead husband and verbal contacts from the grave. People are now believing that Louise is going insane and now telling that she actually has seen her husband. But things go from strange to bizarre when her husband is found recently shot on the balcony of the Selff estate. With Louise in possession of the murder weapon she will again go to trial for the murder of her husband.
Perry will again defend Louise Selff in court for the second charge of murder. In court, Perry will tiptoe through testimony involving a contract that will prove to be the reason for all the problems. Louise Selff is not insane nor is she guilty. The true murderer will be exposed and Perry will exonerate his client for the second time in one episode. -- One of the better shows in the last season of the series.
But there is things that people are doing that just seems very illegal and I guess I will put spoilers but how come nobody's noticing the people that are sneaking around through the whole entire episode until the end I'm like there were like missing dialogues and added dialogues and statements that were made that could have been easily answered but they left you with no answers and that's not good or conducive to a good mystery it made you go what and why is everybody so incompetent it was just hard to get through it's all over the place you really don't even care at the end of the show because a lot of people got away with a lot of little illegal things and nobody called them out on it and certain people could have been apprehended before situations happen because they were right there and it was easily explained but yeah this one gets a 2 out of 10
Yes my review is going to leave you just as mystified as I was watching this episode another thing is a lot of people in this episode had major aggression it was very aggressive a lot of people were talking very aggressively to Perry Mason Perry Mason was snapping back it was a mess!! LoL.

- TriviaMarian McCargo, who played Louise Selff, is the mother of William R. Moses, who was Ken Malansky in the later Perry Mason TV movies.
- GoofsWhile the Deputy D.A. delivers a fiery closing argument in Louise Selff's preliminary hearing, Louise's friend, Rosemary Welch, is actually smiling. Under the circumstances, this is so far out of character as to constitute a serious lapse of judgment by the director.
