... and it's at night while Perry is working late. Did she accidentaly walk off the set of a James Bond film? Not likely, because those are not being made yet. But I digress.
The woman says she is Edward Garvin's secretary and that she had to get out of the office in a hurry because Garvin's jealous wife had arrived at the office. But that still doesn't explain the gun which she claims was a flashlight. Perry knows what he saw, but she tossed it off the terrace, so there is no point in arguing about it at this point. She talks Perry out of calling the police, he agrees to escort her to her car, but she makes a run for it.
The next day Ed Garvin visits Perry as a prospective client. Perry asks him about what happened the previous night. Garvin says that his secretary is 50 years old, and that he and his current wife have only been married for a few weeks and both were not anywhere near the office the night before. Ed has come to Perry because his ex wife - also about 50 so not the blonde in question - is trying to ruin him because she was unhappy over their divorce and the settlement involved. Of course the ex wife turns up dead, but as usual there are tons of suspects and possibilities.
Perry manages to keep his cool even though there is more lying coming from his clients than usual, and then there is the matter of an armed person walking right into his office. The case of the week is being tried in San Diego for a change, giving Hamilton Burger a break from losing to Perry.
I couldn't help but notice the people behind the camera this week. The opening is different - they experiment with the opening a lot during the second season - as they have the camera stop on the envelope Perry is carrying. As for the background music, they are experimenting with bongos and wailing saxes. For me it doesn't work as it gives the show the ambience of a 50s Allied Artists horror movie.
