In this full episode there are two murders and two courtroom hearings that are as fascinating as nearly any in the series. With a cast full of stars, this last episode is an honor to the many years of enjoyment that the series gave us viewers.
In begins as a episode of a TV show is being filmed. The show is approaching the end of the season and new contracts are being signed by all the actors. But at the signing, the star of the show named Barry Conrad decides not to sign. This leaves the producer, Jackson Sidemark (Denver Pyle) is a terrible position. The prima-donna will cause the entire show to collapse and contracts go unpaid.
But during the next filmed scene that involves a fight scene with prop-guns, something goes wrong when Barry Conrad gets shot with actual bullets. And Jackson Sidemark is arrested for the murder for comments he made when Barry would not sign his contract.
During the trial, the prop-man Pete Desmond (Jackie Coogan) is caught in a out-and-out lie on the witness stand and the charges are dropped.
Later, Jackson Sidemark ends up dead. And for some reason the police believe that an elder actress, Winifred Glover (Estelle Winwood), that had been dropped from a guest-spot in the TV show, had killed Mr Sidemark (why anyone would believe that an elder lady weighing about 90 pounds could knock out and kill a large side man is somewhat unbelievable). Perry will again go to court a second time which may lead to the solving of both murderers.
Some nice actors in this show. With the ones already listed the episode contains Dick Clark and Gerald Mohr that only makes the show much better. We also get to see some heated comments by Hamilton Burger directed at Perry when he thinks they misrepresented justice. This episode will keep the viewer on the edge of the seat as this is a full episode with a lot going on. A nice show to finish the series.
