β¦ Synopsis
"There are just four ways to deal with a blackmailer," Perry Mason told Harlow Bancroft.
"First you pay the blackmailer off, thinking to get him off your neck. A blackmailer never quits!"

"What's the fourth way?" Bancroft asked.
"I hardly recommend it," Mason said, "though sometimes it's been done with very satisfactory results. The fourth way is to kill the blackmailer."
