Perry Mason: The Case of the Injured Innocent (1961)
Season 5, Episode 10
8/10
Refreshing script makes for a good show
2 August 2012
This episode has all the quality and quantity that any mystery lover would find exciting. With a good script and good acting this show is one that holds the viewer's interest throughout the entire 52 minutes.

It begins as we see Vincent Danielli, an Italian driver, testing out a new engine in a race car for potential investor Walter Eastman. Seems that the new engine could rake in millions of dollars if all goes well during the testing.

However during the first test, Danielli wrecks and is supposedly paralyzed. But to the viewer it is clear that Mr Danielli is faking the injury to gain dollar signs and perhaps Ms Eastman. This will cause Mr Eastman to cancel the contract and forget about investing money in the new engine.

But before that takes place, Mr Danielli is found murdered and all the evidence points to Mr Eastman as the murderer. It will be up to Perry to defend Eastman in court against the mound of evidence presented by Hamilton Burger and Lt. Anderson.

With a refreshing script and some fine acting this episode is a rose. The plot is interesting and the show entertaining. Good watch for viewers.
