Pete Mallory is the owner of Mallory Construction Firm and has been hired by land developer Stuart Benton to build a road to a new up to a new housing community. While Mallory is building the new road, it comes to a sudden stop when a court order is delivered to the construction site. Seems that Mallory had been given incorrect land surveys and the road is crossing into private property owned by Jim Ames. This halt in working will bankrupt the construction company.
Mallory finds out that he was given wrong surveys and goes on a war path and ends up at Stuart Benton's house where he gets into a fist fight. Later Stuart Benton is found dead- and with all the evidence pointing to Mallory warrants are soon issued. But thanks to Jim Ames, Perry Mason will defend Mallory in court.
Perry must not only get Pete Mallory off the murder charges but also find out who was using Pete as their personal pansy. And with a lot of accusations being thrown by both sides, it will be a difficult case for Perry to defend.
Even though this episode started to become complicated with all the material that was brought in on the witness stand-- we get a confession that is as good acting as we have seen in a long time. The ending saves this episode from being dull and provides a good watch.
