This season is on a good pace though the writer here, Paul Franklin, does his only Perry Mason script. It is a good script & Franklin is a true writer in that his resume includes only 1 episode of several series including Death Valley Days & Sea Hunt. The only series he wrote multiple episodes of (4) was Bat Masterson.
This one involves a racing driver who is test driving an experimental engine in a race car & is supposed to drive it & win the big race. He messes up a test run & then complains about the new engine even though the engine appears to have been no factor in the accident. The romeo driver has 2 girl friends after him but his report on the car engine has more immediate concern to several investors in the car engine.
Then, the driver turns up dead. Mason sorts through a whole lot of subterfuge involving the women & the investors trying to find out who killed the driver. Raymond Bailey plays a Doctor in this one but once he finds out about malpractice, he moves to the Commerce Bank to service good old Uncle Jed.
