Perry Mason - Case Of The Glittering Tooth

Perry Mason walks into office.

Della Street – Chief there is this lady out there who has been waiting for you for the past hour and she is looking at her watch every minute. She is with a companion – tall, stout man with a limp and a golden tooth.

Mason – What do they want Della?

Della- They are not telling me Boss. However I heard them talking about a bent cane, some diamonds, a talking camel. And when he smiles, his golden tooth glitters!

Boss – What is she like Della?

Della – Chief, she is blonde, fully stacked and has a green lens on just one eye! Her initials are P.C., though she has given her name as Geraldine. However her initials are sewn on her handbag and she wears a locket with P and C entwined!

Mason – Good job Della. Get me Paul. Also keep them waiting. Make a list of all the occulists within two miles of the address they have given and the dentists too.

Paul walks in.

Mason – Paul we have an interesting case here. I want you to get me all the dope on a peroxide blonde who goes by the initials PC but may use Geraldine as an alias. Find out the beauty parlor she frequents and where she banks. I also want to know why she is with a tall man with a golden tooth. Find out the name of the tall man…

Paul – But Perry…

Mason – Find out the make of car they drive (it must be parked below) and where they have driven in the last 24 hours. See the gas stations they have frequented and any tips they have given. I want the numbers of the all the notes they have given away in tips

Paul – But Perry…

Mason – Get all these information in the next thirty minutes. Use as many operatives as you want. Della is getting a list of all the oculists and dentists where they live, I want you to send a man there and find out their other clients. I have a hunch…

Paul – But Perry…

Mason – Get on with it Paul. And a 1000 bucks bonus if you get the information within thirty minutes!

Paul – Sure Perry. If I can have some advance. And I don’t mind the bonus.

Perry Mason – Ok. Della, please give Paul 2000 dollars for expenses and send them in.

Paul Walks out.

Geraldine walks in.

Geraldine – Thank you Mr. Mason for seeing us.

Perry – Ok tell me.

Geraldine – Actually Mr Mason, the problem is not what you may expect…

Mason – I only deal with unusual problems, so you may tell me.

Geraldine - Actually Mr. Mason, Percy (my husband) and I are new to this city. We want a recommendation from you to get our child admitted to the school where you are the President of the Board. Paul recommended you to us. I am, Paul’s sister!
