Features: DVD
Perry Mason is an attorney who specializes in defending seemingly indefensible cases. With the aid of his secretary Della Street and investigator Paul Drake, he often finds that by digging deeply into the facts, startling facts can be revealed. Often relying on his outstanding courtroom skills, he often tricks or traps people into unwittingly admitting their guilt.
"...the premier courtroom drama of the television age...plenty of colorful characters..." Dennis Prince, DVD Verdict

Editor's Note
First conceived in the books of Erle Stanley Gardner, Perry Mason was an ingenious criminal defense lawyer able to solve the most difficult of cases with his incredible courtroom prowess. Screen legend Raymond Burr brought the character to indelible life in the classic 1950s television series PERRY MASON, which singlehandedly set the standard for later courtroom dramas like L.A. LAW and LAW & ORDER. This collection presents the first 20 episodes of the long-running series' second season.
