The Case of the Velvet Claws

Thanks to a bungled robbery at a fancy hotel, the already-married Eva Griffin (Leigh Berry) has been caught in the company of a prominent congressman (Sam Donato). To protect the politico, Eva's ready to pay the editor of a sleazy tabloid his hush money. But Perry Mason (Jerry Robbins) has other plans. He tracks down the phantom fat cat who secretly runs the blackmailing tabloid - only to discover a shocking scoop.

By the time Mason's comely client finally comes clean, her husband has taken a bullet in the heart. Now Perry Mason has two choices: represent the cunning widow in her wrangle for the dead man's money - or take the rap for murder.
