In "The Case of the Plucked Cover Girl," lawyer Perry Mason performs his usual feats—surprising everyone with unconventional solutions to seemingly impossible situations. At the start of the story, we find Mason, accompanied by his loyal private secretary and a client he met at a nightclub, scaling a high wall with a Doberman Pinscher hot on their heels. By the end, Mason manages to dismantle not one, but two murder charges—one of which he had practically handed to the District Attorney himself. All this frantic activity—involving the lawyer, his associates, and even Police Lieutenant Tragg—is set in motion by a single man. At the beginning, this man is engaged in shady, extortion-tinged public relations dealings; by the end, he is found dead on the floor of his own photography studio. It is up to Mason to ensure that the innocent and the honest emerge victorious from this tangled web of events and circumstances.
