Plot Overview

A plane explosion kills a millionaire, and his wild child daughter is accused of the murder, the motive being a huge inheritance. Tony doesn't quite know what to believe--whether his client actually loved her father, or the picture that the prosecution paints, that of a party animal who was squandering large amounts of his money--but he's certain of her innocence.

Notes

Flamboyant Sheriff Bates mispronounces 'Petrocelli' three different ways...'Peter Seller', the standard 'Pet-roh-SELL-i' and 'Pete-roh-SELL-i', but Tony gets him back good in court, calling him 'Mr. Bats'!
