Season 5 - Episode 14
Originally aired - December 16, 1961
The Case of the Podcast is a Perry Mason Fan Podcast. We love and enjoy episodes from a tv show from the late 1950’s and early 1960. It’s so old, it was filmed in Black & White.
This is an episode from season 5 that we are choosing at random using a random number generator. We will be choosing our episodes this way season by season. We’re excited by this new process which will give each season a chance to shine.

Earle Stanley Gardner wrote 80 Perry Mason novels. And he was a lawyer himself. Gardner started his legal career by working as a typist at a law firm. Once he was admitted to the Bar, he started working as a trial lawyer by defending impoverished people, in particular Chinese and Mexican immigrants. This experience led to his founding the Court of Last Resort in the 1940s. The Court of Last Resort, dedicated to helping people who were imprisoned unfairly or couldn't get a fair trial, was the first of several organizations that advocate for the wrongly convicted. This turned into a monthly magazine column which Gardner wrote for 10 years. In 1952, he wrote a book, The Court of Last Resort, which also became a tv show.
