Perry Mason must defend the son of an old friend who is accused of killing an ex-officer of the Nazi-SS.

American marine David Berman manages to get himself transferred to Paris to search for a hidden Nazi, Krugman, that had killed his grandparents and crippled his mother. He managed to find a witness but just after they talk, she is run over and killed. That night, he is kidnapped by a shadowy organization and told that Krugman is hiding under the new identity of Felix Altmann. David goes to a health spa and meets Altmann, but Altmann is shot and David framed for the crime. As a old friend of the family, Perry goes to France to help out, but now not only does that involve freeing David, but he must discover secrets that have been kept hidden for over 45 years and for which certain people are still more than willing to kill..—Lee Horton <[email protected]>
