The Case of the Curious Bride
Perry Mason returns
Directed by Michael Curtiz
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A brisk 1930s legal mystery-comedy where Perry Mason untangles a blackmail scheme and murder charge with wit and courtroom acumen.
After giving the District Attorney another stinging defeat, Perry plans to take a vacation in China. That is, he was, until Rhoda, his old flame, meets him at a restaurant. It seems that her husband Moxley, who had been allegedly dead for four years, is alive and demanding money as she has married into wealth. The case escalates when the police find the body of Moxley and charge her with the murder.
