Season 2 - Episode 16
Originally aired - February 7, 1959
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 2 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.

Email:
The Terrified Typist first intrigued me when I heard on a television advertisement that Perry Mason actually lost a case. I was determined to find out which episode contained this blight on an otherwise perfect record! When I first watched it, I really enjoyed the first tense minutes, when Mrs. Taylor in disguise is caught and then flees into the building, hiding in sight in Masons law office. I was then on the edge of my seat when the guilty verdict is delivered. I really liked the unique twist of a defendant in disguise. I enjoy when Hamilton Burger loses his temper a little after being bested by a Mason legal trap and this one was a great meltdown when the real Jefferson shows up.
I have seen all nine seasons but tend to stick to the ones based on the books as I find the plots more complex and engaging. This episode was a solid book adaptation.
Thanks for the episode walkthrough. Looking forward to more!
