- Adam Conrad, a junior engineer for a construction firm having cost overruns, uncovers problems with boss Joe Marshall. Joe frames Adam for embezzling causing Adam to go looking for Joe. Joe is murdered with Adam seen leaving the scene.
- Perry Mason defends a young engineer, Adam Conrad, who is accused of killing his immediate superior, Joe Marshall. Both worked for a construction firm that had come under pressure from a client, Archer Osmond, to keep the cost of an access road to his new subdivision, Osmond Estates, to a minimum. If they can't get better controls of their costs, he threatens to cancel the rest of the contract. Conrad and Marshall don't get along very well and Conrad is sent out to survey a new route that will take them right through an old stately house occupied by a pleasant elderly woman. Conrad's girlfriend thinks that tearing down the house is a shame and approaches well-known columnist Quincy Davis who writes an article against the move. When Marshall accuses Conrad of taking kickbacks and gets him fired, Conrad sets off to see him at the house in question but is hit over the head upon entering it. Adam is seen leaving the house by the owner so, when Marshall is found dead inside, Conrad is accused of murder and it's left for Perry to sort it all out and find the real killer.—garykmcd
