About the show:
Based on the classic award winning 1950s television series, Perry Mason. A Case for Mason is a thriller about an attractive man with a shrewish wife, an adoring secretary, and an absolutely devoted housekeeper. Lawyer Mason is called for advice about a jewel theft and so is on hand when the wife is mysteriously murdered. He saves both the reputation and the life of the intriguing young secretary by fast legal fencing with a supercilious doctor and the police and through a dangerous encounter with a killer who'd wipe out an entire household in a good cause. A crisp and funny suspense play.
