This Erle Stanley Gardner (Perry Mason) story features Jim Hutton (Ellery Queen) as a charismatic small-town DA working on several cases. His latest investigation centers upon a victim found in a swimming pool, where it is apparent the murder took place elsewhere and the body was dumped in the pool. This murder leads to a series of homicides and an insurance scam with veteran character actors Ed Asner (Mary Tyler Moore Show) and Leslie Nielsen (Naked Gun) lending their talent to this production.
