Perry Mason: The Case of the Scandalous Scoundrel

Susan Wilder is a writer for a National-Enquirer-like newspaper. It is run by Robert Guillaime. He fires her for pursuing serious stories. She goes to his estate to harangue him and leaves.... and he is found dead soon afterwards. Miss Wilder is on trial for murder, but fortunately she has Raymond Burr as Perry Mason for a lawyer, and Erle Stanley Gardner's lawyer-sleuth never represents a guilty client. Random witnesses confess on the stand Especially when you have a murder victim with lots of blackmail-style material in his safe, much of which vanishes after the death.

Rene Enriquez and Yaphet Kotto are two of the well-known actors who appear in this nicely ornamented episode in the series of TV movies in which Burr starred from 1986 through his death in 1993.
