Best line ever from Della. I have been rewatching Perry Mason episodes and have to say season 9 has been so much better than the previous seasons 6,7,8. The past few seasons spent almost too much time on the guest stars with very little interaction between Perry, Paul and Della.. especially Della seemed relegated to the background.

This episode was entertaining and a little spooky.. Perry represents a woman (Marian McCargo) who is accused of murdering her husband and he gets her off not in the court of public opinion.

Afterwards strange things start to happen to her such as disappearing items, a strange man lurking outside her house, ghostly visitations.. the usual twists and turns. Did not care for the acting of Marion McCargo, who was too over the top and annoying, but enjoyed the plot. Over the years Perry Mason touched on some interesting topics.. tabloids, mental health, teenage angst, protests, domestic violence, unwed mothers. Perry was always had a moral compass and tried to do the right thing even when odds were against him. The characters of this show have always been endearing which to me is why the show remains a classic .. even with its shortfalls of crazy plots, courtroom outbursts and overacting guest stars.
