here we are -- dad? your breakfast is getting cold. dad? what is it, muriell? dad -- he didn't finish his breakfast, and i-i'm looking for him. it's obvious he's not here. sorry, nancy. oh, what are you doing, banging around this time of night?

i'm sorry i woke you, glamis. it's not me, silly. you might have waken hartley. hartley? hartley elliott, here? mm-hmm. in the guest room. something went wrong with his car when he brought me home, so, of course, i asked him to spend the night in the guest room. well, dad didn't finish his breakfast. and he hasn't left for the office. well, i just don't know where he is. did you look out in that smelly old shop of his? [ sighs ] tsk. [ screams ]

muriell gilman. mm-hmm. now for the address. 6231 volksman. fine, miss gilman. yes, and try not to worry too much. i'll have mr. mason call as soon as he comes in. you're very welcome. bye. gilman? carter gilman... morning, della. morning, perry. a young woman just called, and she's lost her father and she seems terribly frightened.

what do you mean, she's lost her father? well, it just so happens that he disappeared right in the middle of breakfast. good place to disappear. she found your name on a list of appointments in his briefcase. do i know him? not that i know of -- carter gilman? that rings no bells. perry, yesterday afternoon, a man called. he wanted an appointment and said it was of extreme urgency. i gave him an appointment at 11:30. here -- 11:30, this morning. mr. edward carter. edward carter -- carter gilman. mm-hmm. carter gilman's address is 6231 volksman. mr. edward carter also left an address. 6231 volksman? mm-hmm. i think we'd better get in touch with your frightened young lady right away. the red stain on the floor... is not blood. it's paint.

thank heaven. but there was obviously quite a fight in here. this must have been knocked over during the struggle. your father's workshop? yes. woodworking is his hobby. he's very good at it. he certainly uses fine woods. 100 of these bills scattered on the floor. $10,000. but where did it come from? i don't know. that money isn't mine. i don't want any part of it. all right, miss gilman, i'll hold it for a while. now, other than you and your father, who was in the house? nancy, my stepmother... glamis barlow, my stepsister... and hartley elliott, glamis' boyfriend. he spent the night here. i-i saw him leave a few minutes ago. you said your father seemed preoccupied with something outside the dining-room window.

i guess he saw something out there, but why didn't he tell me? mr. mason, do you think he saw someone coming into this workshop? or someone leaving it. now, suppose you find me a recent picture of your father. what are you going to do, mr. mason, call the police? no, not yet. i'll wait and see what happens at 11:30. [ buzzer ] della: he's here, perry. bring him in. tell gertie to get ahold of paul for me. della: mr. edward carter. mr. mason. uh, won't you sit down, mr. carter? i believe you told miss street this was a matter of extreme urgency. i'm acting on behalf of a friend -- a very dear friend -- a woman who happens to be married to a man

who is also a friend of mine. her name? gilman. nancy gilman. i'm visiting her and her husband at the moment. what about mrs. gilman? mr. mason, mrs. gilman is being blackmailed. and you, being her friend, want me to do something about it? yes, sir. that's why i'm here. i want to know what's in her past so that we know what hold a blackmailer has over her. do you know who the blackmailer is? yes, sir, i do. a private detective named vera m. martel. she has an office in las vegas. i'd like to know a little more about nancy gilman -- about her husband, for instance. well, mr. gilman was married before. he has one daughter, muriell. she's 20. he married again, and the second wife, nancy, has a daughter by a prior marriage -- glamis -- glamis barlow. i'm very fond of the entire family and particularly the two daughters. they're as different as night and day.

but where mr. and mrs. gilman are concerned, they're duplicate and devoted daughters. but you think there's something in mrs. gilman's past which would lay her open to blackmail. mr. carter, perhaps what you need is a good private investigator. but you don't understand, mr. mason. i want you as an attorney. yes, of course, hire anybody else as necessary, but you do it. do you happen to know if there's a workshop someplace around the gilman house? why, yes, of...course. i-i-i've seen it there. why do you ask? mr. carter, i'll take your case on one condition. i want you to assign to me all your right, title, and interest, whatever it may be, to the contents of that workshop. all those contents that exist at the present time or existed at any other time during the day. well, i'll sign anything, mr. mason, but quite obviously, since i'm only a guest at the house

and own nothing in the workshop or anyplace else there, such a paper would be a legal absurdity. i'd simply like to have what we lawyers call... color-of-title to give me a legal right to explore the premises. now, if it's agreeable, i'll have my secretary get together with you in the outer office, draw up a bill of sale, and we'll go right to work. look, mr. mason... apparently, i have no choice. thank you. perry, what on earth -- if that $10,000 from the workshop, now locked in our safe, is money he collected to pay blackmail, i'd have a legitimate excuse to hold it. moreover, i couldn't be accused of suppressing evidence. you understand?

[ rhythmic knocking on door ] hi, perry. you wanted to see me? suspected blackmail victim -- mrs. nancy gilman. nancy gilman is supposedly being blackmailed by a private investigator named vera martel.
